environmental samples from Tolo Harbor
marine metagenome
Surface seawater samples (~2.5 l) were collected from two bays in northeastern Hong Kong in April 2007. Tolo Harbor (TH) is a landlocked bay with a long history of eutrophication (Wear et al., 1984; Chau, 2007). Located outside TH, Mirs Bay (MB) is relatively unpolluted and more exposed to ocean currents from the South China Sea (Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department, 2003). Water samples were filtered through a 200 μm mesh sieve immediately to remove most of the mesozooplankton and large particles.
