Dive Table "Calibration"

Are Dive Tables "calibrated" for Salt Water or Fresh Water?

I know the difference is trivial but enquiring minds need to know

Most ive seen are salt.

Worth noting that dive computers work on absolute pressure so dont need calibrating (even if their depth readout is salt or fresh).

The difference between salt and fresh is so small as to render the point moot.
