RE: Composition of Sea Water
a) By elements (81 are listed),
2) By major ions (13).
This is one of the best on-line listings by ionic makeup, listed in order of decreasing composition:

This gives the total composition of seawater, with 1st the few major components, then for all the elements (in order of atomic weight) : http://www.seafriends.org.nz/oceano/seawater.htm

As an example, the Composition OF Arabian Gulf seawater:
Cations:
sodium 13440 ppm
potasium 485 ppm
calcium 520 ppm
copper 0.004 ppm
iron 0.008 ppm
strantium 1 ppm
boron 3 ppm
Anions:
chloride 24050 ppm
sulfate 3380 ppm
biocarbonate 165 ppm
carbonate 88 ppm
bromide 1 ppm
TDS 42528 PPM
pH 82 ppm
Note the concentration varies from season to season and from site to site.
