Marine viruses[edit]

Subsections of this section need a reorg:

archaean viruses are treated twice (as phages in the first subsection, and also in the second section). Moreover
as phages are viruses tha second subsection should be confined to erkariotic viruses then
giant viruses ara all NCLDVs (Nucleocytoviricota). That isthe 3rd subsection in part/special case of the second.
tailed phages (Caudovirales) may be not the most abundand viruses in the oceans as untailed phages (candidate „Autolykiviridae“ ^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] may be more, see paper of Kauffman et al.
