What is this salty water/ice being used for?

It is flake ice we use for keeping seafood (Pollock,salmon,halibut,cod)chilled during processing prior to going into the blast freezers and/or plate freezers

Doesn't the salinity depend on the available water source. Atlantic,Pacific, Salt Lake. Or are you making your own salt water?

Northstar recommends starting at 100-200 ppm and then adjust the feed rate of your salt feeder to get the best ice removal from the drum.

We have a brine barrel that pumps salt brine to each ice maker.in the make-up water box we mix fresh city water with the brine.the brine line and water line going to the water box are controlled/metered with your typical ball valve.ive been doing refrigeration now for awhile but I'm fairly new to the ice making.i know salt effects the freezing point of water so I figured there is probably a ideal salinity level you would want in order to make the best ice.
Thank you guys very much for taking the time to share your knowledge with me.very much appreciated.
