Seasonal Levels of the Vibrio Predator Bacteriovorax in Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf Coast Seawater
Figure 4
Monthly Bacteriovorax levels, seawater salinity, and temperature for (a) Gulf of Mexico site (starting in June 2012) for 1 year. (b) Bacteriovorax levels for Hawaiian site (starting in April 2012) for 13 months. Seawater temperature and salinity data are not shown for Hawaii because they remain steady between 24 and 25°C and at 35 ppt salinity. All monthly Bacteriovorax levels are the mean ± SD obtained from six samples.
