Eccrine glands secrete primarily water containing water soluble solids. Thus, latent finger or palm prints deposited only in eccrine gland secretions are usually destroyed (dissolved) when the surface bearing such impressions is submersed in water.
Does Salt Water destroy fingerprints?
The duration of submersion affects the quality of fingerprints developed; the longer the duration, the worse the quality is. In addition, this study has revealed that the exposure to high salinity i.e. sea water has more damaging influence on the quality of detected fingerprints.
Can you find fingerprints on a dead body?

How do you develop latent fingerprints?

Latent prints can be found on a variety of surfaces; however, they are not readily visible and detection often requires the use of fingerprint powders, chemical reagents or alternate light sources.
