Hey mate!
Biosensors are not used to detect saline water instead Novel Optical Fibre sensors are used for that.

A Novel Optical Fibre sensor is used for monitoring the salinity in water. Based on the detection of beam deviation due to the refractive index changes of the salt water, salinity can be measured by a position-sensitive detector. 

Whereas Biosensors are the devices that capture the biological signal and convert it into a detectable electrical signal. It involves the combination of biological entities like DNA, RNA, and proteins/enzymes to the electrochemical transducers in order to detect and observe certain biological analytes like antibody-antigen interaction. 

Hope it helps you! :)
