Taxonomic composition at the Phylum level of microbial communities present in both (a) nets (Net A - Braided Polyethylene (PE) (Trawling net), Net B - Braided Nylon (Seine net) and Net C - Thin Nylon (Seine net) and (b) seawater samples, collected from the in situ experiment of marina of Leixões. Seawater samples were collected at all sampling times (0220 (fev_2020), 0320 (mar_2020), 0520 (may_2020), 0720 (jul_2020), 1020 (oct_2020) and 0221 (fev_2021)while net samples were collected at all times except for 0220 (fev_2020). Phylum composition of groups with more than 1% relative abundance in the communities. Graphs on the left belong to net biofilm samples, while graphs on the right belong to seawater samples.
