Several of the 18S T-RFs that were more abundant, or present only, in non-bloom vs bloom samples are consistent with T-RFs predicted from cloned copepod 18S rRNA amplicon sequences (Harpacticus sp., 141G and 177B; Oithona sp., 141G and 313B; Liu,2012), suggesting that copepods may have avoided, or died within, bloom patches (Jiang et al., 2009)
