Reviewer 1 Report
The manuscript entitled “Inactivation of human norovirus GⅡ.4 and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the sea squirt (Halocynthia roretzi) by floating electrode-dielectric barrier discharge plasma” analyzed the effect of floating electrode-dielectric barrier discharge plasma against human Norovirus GII.4 and V. parahaemolyticus to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of this treatment. The study seems interesting however all the tables with the data are completely missing despite being mentioned in the text. This does not allow a correct evaluation of the article. We therefore propose to resubmit the complete article before a final judgment.
In addition, there are some comments and mistakes that should be addressed.

Round 2
Reviewer 1 Report
The revised article “Inactivation of human norovirus GⅡ.4 and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the sea squirt (Halocynthia roretzi) by floating electrode-dielectric barrier discharge plasma” is more understandable and clearer than the previous version. However, there are still some issues in the manuscript that need to be modified.
