No, blood is not about 50% sea water!

In fact there is no meaningful salt constituent at all.

Blood is 55% plasma, which is 92% water but also contains dissolved (or dissipated) glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide and blood cells themselves.

To liken blood to sea water is meaningless

Sea water is simply water with dissolved minerals salts (about 35grams per litre) of which sodium chloride, or common salt is by far the largest constituent.
