Antarctic marine virus dataset

Created 28/09/2025

Updated 28/09/2025

This dataset accompanies the paper 'Antarctic Marine Viruses: A Review and Future Perspectives' and compiles quantitative data on Antarctic marine viruses, including sampling locations, viral abundance, lytic viral production, carbon release by lysis, associated environmental factors and others. The primary aim of this dataset is to consolidate existing measurements on Antarctic marine viruses, facilitating future research on viral ecology, biogeochemical cycling, ecosystem dynamics, climate modelling in polar marine environments.
