[Mass Effect] What do the Reapers do with Salarians?

The Reapers convert and corrupt species into their servants, that much is common knowledge. Humans became Husks, Protheans became Collectors, Batarians Cannibals, Turians Marauders, Ardat Yakshi Banshees.

We only see these twisted species appear once the Reapers destroy that race's major settlements. Humans were the main ones targeted, causing the abundance of husks, then when the Reapers arrived in Batarian space we started to see Cannibals. Then they attack Palaven, and we get Marauders, etc etc.

My question is, what about Salarians? We've seen what becomes of most of the council races, except for Salarians. I cannot recall if their major planets were hit, but surely they would do something with them, right? Or would the Reapers see their fast metabolism as a weakness that makes them not worthy, and just dispose of them?

Salarian territory was on the opposite side of the galaxy to where the Reapers arrived from and so most of their planets remained untouched. It was only in the closing days of the War that the Reapers finally pushed into Salarian space and by that time Shepard and co were in the middle of pushing to Earth for the final battle so there just wasn't any time for any huskified Salarians to make it there in any great numbers.

As for what happens to a Salarian when one is turned into a husk, Harbinger is quoted as saying that they have an insufficient lifespan and a fragile genetic structure. So its possible that they just couldn't 'survive' the process intact to the point of being useful. That said, the Reapers don't seem like the kind of entities that are needlessly wasteful so they probably have some use for them as test subjects or indoctrinated agents.
