Virioplankton abundance using FISH probe at BATS site in the western Sargasso Sea from 2000-2011 (Ocean Microbial Observatory project)

<p>Virioplankton abundances were measured from samples collected from January 2000 to December 2011 as part of the larger BATS program aboard the R/V Weatherbird II or the R/V Atlantic Explorer. Supporting data provided by the BATS time-series program and are available at (<a href=\"http://bats.bbsr.edu/\">http://bats.bios.edu/)</a>. This dataset reports abundances quantified using FISH (Fluorescence <em>in situ</em> hybridization).</p>
