All you need to do is to look at both sides of the equation and see who has the same element, state, coefficient, and charge and those will be your spectator ions.
In this question, the spectator ions would be

The oceanographers define salinity by the number of grams of salt per kilogram of water.
Salinity is illustrated as how much salt is present in the given amount of water. It is dependent upon how much salt is found in the ocean in the specific regions. If there is a sunny environment, it may evaporate an ample amount of water, and leave behind a lot of salt, thus, the water has more salinity.
The salinity of the ocean is usually measured in Practical Salinity Unit (PSU), it is a unit based on the characteristics of seawater conductivity.
