Metabarcoding Analysis of Harmful Algal Bloom Species in the Western Pacific Seamount Regions
The Western Pacific is the most oligotrophic sea on Earth, with numerous seamounts. However, the plankton diversity and biogeography of the Western Pacific in general and the seamount regions in particular remains largely unexplored. In this project, we quantitatively analyzed the composition and di...
