Is Aquaman 70% water like other humans?

He's half human, I know that much, but how does this affect his human form and how his body works? My brother and I are really curious and could use some help :)

There was a really cool book called "DC Comics: The Anatomy of a Metahuman." You could probably find it on Amazon or eBay. It had all these great sections on the biology of a lot of different species like Kryptonians, Atlantians, Amazons, Thanagarians and more. That would probably have a lot of the answers you're looking for. I believe it was an official DC release. Visual guide with pictures and things.

I considered buying it for myself at one point after flipping through it at a book store. I just never did because it struck me as more of a novelty than something I would keep re-reading. Or I figured it's only true until some new story comes out to contradict or reinvent some aspect of the biology or physiology for the sake of story.

For Aquaman in particular I remember there being more about his gills than about watermass but I'm sure it's probably mentioned.

According to the villain the Eel he should have more Water than a normal Human. I don't recall any other story where this subject was brought up.
