Why protein skimmers work better in saltwater?

[alexytman]

I wanted to write something about this topic but cannot find why salinity makes foam fractionation of protein sufactants better.

Why does foam in skimmer form better in saltwater? can someone give me a research paper on this matter?

Thx, if there is anything else it will be much appreciated, also if there's anything that links bubble number with skimmer it would be great! Many thanks
