Summary Introduction

To define:

The term ‘salinity’.

Explanation of Solution

In biology, salinity is an indicator of the amount of salts present in a mixture. A higher salinity represents a higher salt concentration in the mixture and lower salinity is an indicator of low salt content.For example, rivers have less concentration of salts, and seawater has more concentration of salts, hence, the salinity of seawater is higher than the river water.
