PA, Prokaryotic abundance; BP, bacterial production; TVC, Viable Bacterial count; Salinity; VP, viral production; Chla, chlorophyll a, accounted for 72–73% of the overall variance in both seasons. These factors significantly (p < 0.05) correlated with the variances in viral abundance. Fb, Pseudo F-values; Pc, P-values; CumLd, cumulative percentage of variance explained.
