The saltiest of the four major oceans is the Atlantic Ocean.

The Dead Sea is much saltier, but is not an ocean it is a lake. The Dead Sea is so salty nothing can live in there. Most oceans are around 3.5% salt (35 parts per thousand (ppt)) The Dead Sea contains around 33.7% salt, it ranges in layers that are between 300 and 400 ppt
