Historically, many large bodies of water, especially navigable ones, were called "seas." There are notably the Caspian Sea and Aral Sea, both large lakes.
The Dead Sea is called "dead" for the lack of fish or other marine life, due to the extreme salinity of the water. For saline content, it is the third most concentrated body of water on Earth, and the most accessible.
