Explanation note: Figure S1. Shepard diagrams for all the markers used for the NMDS analysis. Figure S2. Temperature and salinity in winter-spring (A, B) and summer-autumn (C, D) at various sampling locations. Figure S3. Overview of OTUs detected based on different markers in different higher taxonomic levels (18S, 28S_E, 28S_D: supergroups; 16S: phyla). Group "Others" in 16S consists of phyla containing < 10 OTUs. Figure S4. Number of unique and shared eukaryotic OTUs detected by three eukaryote-targeting markers: 18S, 28S_E, 28S_ D. Figure S5. Venn diagrams of OTUs detected from winter-spring (A) and summer-autumn (AP) stations. Figure S6. Relative sequence abundances of different phyla/group detected by 28S_E in different sampling months. TOP 5 most abundant phyla/groups are shown for each station and sampling occasion (X-axis). Y-axis displays the relative sequence abundances for each phyla/group. Sequences belonging to the phyla/group that did not belong to the TOP 5 phyla/group for the particular sampling occasion are displayed as "Others". Figure S7. Correlation among OTUs associated with common, dominant, or toxin-producing (bold) phytoplankton species (X-axis) and zooplankton species (microzooplankton species are marked with bold; Y-axis). Asterisks indicate statistically significant (p < 0.05) correlations after Benjamini-Hochberg correction. Figure S8. Correlation among OTUs associated with common, dominant, or toxin-producing (bold) phytoplankton species (X-axis) and bacteria (Y-axis). Asterisks indicate statistically significant (p < 0.05) correlations after Benjamini-Hochberg correction.
