Laboratory study: Abundance (estimated number of infecting particles per ml seawater and standard error) of cyanophages infecting laboratory strains of Synechococcus at three southern California locations. Four Synechococcus hosts were used at one site (Newport Beach), whereas only one host (WH7803) was used at two additional sites (Seal Beach and Crystal Cove). Date and time of sampling is recorded, along with various abiotic parameters including salinity, water temperature ("temp"), pH, air temperature, and nutrients (PO4, SiO4, NO2, NO3+NO2, NH4).
