    Greetings Mario -

    Did anyone ever give you a serious / educated response to your inquiry? I'm particularly interested in the density of the Red Sea for a shipping project. In the business of shipping, seawater is assumed to have a density of 1.025 grams / milliliter with
    freshwater at 1.000.

    Yes, it looks like bullshark did so on his Aug 10, 2004, 9:58:06 AM post.

    From that:

    [quote]
    Salinity can be converted to density if you know temperature and pressure
    here:
    <http://www.es.flinders.edu.au/~mattom/Utilities/density.html>

    Here you can find salinity for various regions: <http://aquarius.gsfc.nasa.gov/overview-sss.html>

    Average is considered ~35 ppt

    In checking the above 17 year old links, looks like both
    are gone; you could try checking with the Wayback Machine
    to see if they archived them at any point.

    Also, the second one redirects to here:
    <https://salinity.oceansciences.org/>

    So you could try some focused searches there.
