Answer:

Other animal Materials

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that animal materiel is composed of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins therefore there is no salts present in it as like sea shells and fish scales. Both of these have salts of calcium in the form of calcium carbonate. Therefore, we can say that animal material is not the source of salts in sea water.
