   QUORA: IF FISH DEFECATE IN THE OCEAN, WHY ISN'T THE OCEAN A SEWAGE TANK, FULL   
   OF BACTERIA AND UNSAFE FOR SWIMMING?   
   ----Answered by Dale P Lee, 1 year ago   
   Bad news is coming.  The ocean is a gigantic bacterial deposit of black water.   
   “There are approximately 10 million viruses in every drop of surface   
   seawater , but very few are infectious to large animals like fish, whales or   
   humans. That's because almost all marine viruses are "bacteriophages" -   
   viruses that only attack marine    
   bacteria."   
   “ Microorganisms make up about 70% of marine biomass. Viruses are estimated   
   to kill about 20% of this biomass each day and viruses outnumber bacteria and   
   archaea by a ratio of 15:1 in the oceans
