This dataset reports depth-resolved total prokaryotic cell counts collected at Stations 5, 8, and 13 in the northeastern Pacific Ocean during the R/V Kilo Moana cruise KM1314 in August 2013. Seawater samples (2 mL) from multiple depths were preserved with glutaraldehyde (2% final concentration), filtered onto 0.02 μm Anodisc filters, and stained with a Moviol–SYBR Green mixture. Cells were enumerated using epifluorescence microscopy by counting at least 20 randomly selected fields per sample (10...

At Stations 5, 8, and 13, seawater from each depth was collected using Niskin bottles attached at CTD. 2 mL seawater from each depth was fixed with glutaraldehyde (final concentration 2% v/v) and filtered onto 0.02 μm Anodisc filters (Whatman, UK). Filters were mounted on glass slides and stained with Moviol-SYBR Green mix (Lunau et al. 2005).
