  19. VI. Conclusions Prokaryotic abundance and prokaryotic heterotrophic production decrease with depth. Thaumarchaeota relative abundance was higher in deep waters than surface layer, while Bacterial abundance tends to decrease with depth. SAR-11 and Alteromonas dominated the prokaryotic community structure inhabiting surface waters. SAR-202 and SAR-324 increased with depth. SAR-406 did not show any clear trend. The prokaryotic community assemblages clearly clustered according to the different water masses. DisTLM analysis explained that only 29% of the variation of ACS can be modeled by the environmental variables tested in this study. DOM represented the primary factor driving the ACS. On the other hand, the analysis explained 49% of the variation for the BCS to the variables included in this work. The physico-chemical set was the most representative to modeling the BCS.
