No, don't listen to Snooki...
Whale Sperm is injected directly into the female, so even if it was made of pure 100% salt and the male somehow missed the female during mating, the amount is so small that it would make no difference as to the billions of trillions of gallons of water in the seas and oceans.
The Ocean is salty mostly due to the mineral deposits that make up the sea floor, rocks and various other factors.
No, not because of whale sperm. The sea is salty because there is more than 2% salt dissolved in sea water.
A mixture of salty substances is washed out of rocks by rivers and deposited into the sea. When rain falls on the land it gradually dissolves minerals. The dissolved salts slowly enter the river and are carried down to the sea.
The ocean is salty because of the gradual concentration of dissolved chemicals eroded from the Earth's crust and washed into the sea. Solid and gaseous ejections from volcanoes, suspended particles swept to the ocean from the land by onshore winds, and materials dissolved from sediments deposited on the ocean floor have also contributed. Salinity is increased by evaporation or by freezing of sea ice and it is decreased as a result of rainfall, runoff, or the melting of ice. The average salinity of sea water is 35 o/oo, but concentrations as high as 40 o/oo are observed in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. Salinities are much less than average in coastal waters, in the polar seas, and near the mouths of large rivers.
Sea water not only is much saltier than river water but it also differs in the proportion of the various salts. Sodium and chloride constitute 85 percent of the dissolved solids in sea water and account for the characteristic salty taste. Certain constituents in sea water, such as calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, and silica, are partly taken out of solution by biological organisms, chemical precipitation, or physical-chemical reactions. In open water the chemical composition of sea water is nearly constant. Because of the stable ratios of the principal constituents to total salt content, the determination of one major constituent can be used to calculate sea water salinity. For minor constituents and dissolved gases the composition is variable and therefore ratios cannot be used to calculate salt Circulation and mixing, density and ocean currents, wind action, water temperature, solubility, and biochemical reactions are some of the factors that explain why the composition of water in the open sea is almost constant from place to place.

What percent of ocean water is whale sperm?
the ocean holds .5% of whale sperm
What is the blue Whale Theory?
One myth about the blue whale is that its sperm causes the ocean to be salty. This is obviously untrue, the ocean water is salty because of the salt that is dissolved in it.
Is there whale sperm in the ocean?
Yes. Whale sperm is 89% Salt, each time a whale ejaculates they produce around 500 gallons of sperm. This is what is harvested to make salt, salt IS whale sperm. Although at McDonald's, the salt used on their fries is dolphin sperm, a waste product. There is no other way to produce salt apart from ejaculation, salt rocks have been ejaculated on by animals over thousands of years, it is the only solution.
What whale dives to the deppest part of the ocean?
Sperm Whale.
Is the ocean salty because of whale semen?
The ocean is not salty because of whale semen. (See links below)
Why the sea water is salty?
because many people throw items in the sea
Is water clean from the ocean?
No, It is known that a Whale releases 1,000,000,000,000 sperm cells in mating season and they sexually contact 4 times a day, that's why the water is so salty
Where dos the pygmy sperm whale live?
In the Ocean
What are sperm whales habitat?
The sperm whale lives in the deep ocean. It is in all oceans except the Arctic Ocean.
Why is the sea salty.?
whale sperm.
What is the ocean's largest carnivorous?
The sperm whale is the largest carnivore in the ocean and in the world. The blue whale eats some plankton too so it is an omnivore. It is also not toothed.
What are facts about dirty water?
Fact #1: Water is never pure, not even if it come out of a purifier. The reason is because all of the particles in the water from your sink at home come from the rust in the pipes they travel through. Fact #2: A blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm when it ejaculates, however only 10% of that actually makes it into his mate. This means that 360 gallons of whale sperm end up spilled into the ocean every time a whale decides to ejaculate. Really makes you wonder why the ocean is truly salty ;)
