Methods

Method step description: Sample collection and fixation with Ca(HCO3)2-buffered formaldehyde (0.8% final concentration). Cell abundance and species composition of phytoplankton were estimated according to Utermöhl’s method (1958), using an inverted microscope equipped with phase contrast, at 200-320-400x final magnifications.inverted microscope equipped with phase contrast, at 200-320-400x final magnifications.
Study extent description: Seasonal cruises were carried out in the South Adriatic.
Sampling description: Sampling at discrete water depths with Niskin bottles deployed with a CTD profiler.
Quality control description: Worms taxon match
