Salt water is heavier. According to the "Pocket Reference", fresh
water is 62.5 pounds per cubic foot, salt is 64.3 pounds per cubic
foot. One cubic foot of water is equal to 7.5 gallons and one gallon
weighs 8.33 pounds.
Whew! More data about water than I ever wanted to know. And there is
more in the reference that I did not list here.
