Evaporation and precipitation cycles in salt ponds create variable environments with wide ranges of salinity and depth. [1] Due to depth and temperature fluctuation salt pond could be classified as hyposaline 3-20 ppt, mesosaline 20-50 ppt, or hypersaline with ppt greater than 50. [1] Another important aspect of salt ponds is their permanence. [2]
