i once read some imbecile say they threw so many dead slaves overboard that to this very day it has changed the pattern of shark feeding grounds so that they still follow along sea lanes the slave ships took looking for dead slaves!!!
Over a period of 100 years, even a high-end estimate of 120K dead slaves means about 1.2K bodies overboard per year, which would not be significant in a big ocean.
