Sampling map. Overview map of the sampling and survey stations in the tropical and subtropical western North Pacific. The pink square indicates our research area on the global map (a). Enlarged views of the research area (b, c). Circles denote stations where eel larvae were collected (yellow circles: larvae of Japanese eel, red circles: other larvae). Cross (×), plus (+), and diamond (◇) indicate CTD observation, water sample collection points for analysis of marine environments and phytoplankton, and water sample collection points for metagenome analysis, respectively. Location data of all stations are available in Supplementary Table 1. The map was generated using the marmap package (version 1.0.3) in R with data imported from the NOAA server (accessed on 5 December 2019).
