Comment on With all the animals that die in the sea, is it possible they get pickled in there?

The sea is not “a salt brine in itself”. You need a much higher salt concentration to pickle anything than what you find at any point in the ocean. Enough to prevent microbial life forms from surviving and consuming whatever it is you’re trying to pickle, which is why it doesn’t rot while pickling.

2% salt brines are standard, I presume lower percentage work.
And the saltiest bodies of water (by memory) are like 0.4%?
I know its a big difference but I really thought the right animal, if left alone could get there. But I guess I didnt think of what the minimum percentage is needed for
