Evidence suggests these populations have distinct physiological and ecological roles with implications for mortality. We assessed HP abundance, production, the relative proportion of HNA and LNA, virus-mediated mortality, and the distribution of lytic versus lysogenic strategies within HP host communities across a latitudinal gradient in the North Atlantic during spring. The study area, characterized by dynamic physicochemical conditions consistent with the onset of seasonal stratification, was divided into three regions based on bio-physicochemical properties: Pre-bloom, Bloom, and Oligotrophic. Multivariant analysis showed these regions significantly structured HPs, as well as influenced the relative abundance and production of virus subpopulations (i.e., V1 and V2). Specifically, V1 viruses increased with the potential of encountering HNA hosts, which were elevated in the surface waters of stratified Oligotrophic and Bloom regions. In contrast, V2 abundance and production correlated with LNA cells, more prominent in DEEP samples and in surface waters of the deeper mixed Pre-bloom region. Lysogeny occurred across all regions, with the percentage of lysogens within the HP community, increasing (largely V1-driven) with HP-specific growth rate until reaching a threshold of 0.1 d</span><sup>−1</sup><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(34,34,34);\">, after which it declined.
