Scope: ocean, environmental
Type: numeric
Description: For ocean water and freshwater samples: upper size cutoff for the filtration during sample collection, i.e. the pre-filter pore size in µm. The contents of this filter are discarded (or at least not sequenced in this particular size fraction).
Examples: 3, 0.2, but also Infinity (when there is no pre-filtering step)
