The table gives FIC (% of prokaryotic abundance; calculated with an assumed burst size of 30) and VP (N × 103·mL−1·h−1) as estimated in the controls for the single water mass tranplantation treatments after 32 h of incubation. Data on VP have been corrected for the difference between in situ prokaryotic abundance and prokaryotic abundance at the start of the experiments (Appendix S2: Fig. S6). NADW, North Atlantic Deep Water; MSOW, Mediterranean Sea Overflow Water; AAIW, Antarctic Intermediate Water; AABW, Antarctic Bottom Water.
