ICP results for phosphorous can be way off. @Rick Mathew has convincingly shown that the PO4 in an ICP sample declines during shipping. Hanna is closer to the truth.
 
Salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), so it looks like your salinity is high (20% too high according to those results). What does it look like when you test it?
