Polyethylene microbeads are more critically toxic to the eyes and reproduction than the kidneys or growth in medaka, Oryzias latipes

Shinichi Chisada et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the adverse effects of polyethylene microplastic beads on the growth, reproduction, eyes, and kidneys of medaka under breeding conditions. Although histologic analyses showed an absence of microplastics in the tissues, adverse effects were still observed in the eyes, kidneys, and reproduction, with increased microplastic concentrations. The data suggested that microplastics were more toxic to the eyes and reproduction than the kidneys or growth.

Micro(nano)plastics as an emerging risk factor to the health of amphibian: A scientometric and systematic review

Amanda Pereira da Costa Araujo et al.

Summary: Although the toxicity of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) is recognized at different trophic levels, limited knowledge exists about their effects on amphibians. Research on plastic particles and amphibians is geographically concentrated in Brazil and China, with a scarcity of data on the toxicity of plastic particles in amphibians and a need for further exploration in this area.

The occurrence and abundance of microplastics in surface water and sediment of the West River downstream, in the south of China

Daofen Huang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution and characteristics of microplastics in the downstream area of West River, revealing differences in microplastic abundance in different land use areas. Microplastics were mainly small in size and fiber-form, with polypropylene, polyethylene, and other polymer types identified as prominent.

Toxic effects of naturally-aged microplastics on zebrafish juveniles: A more realistic approach to plastic pollution in freshwater ecosystems

Abraao Tiago Batista Guimaraes et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the toxicity of naturally-aged polystyrene microplastics (MPs) on Danio rerio at environmentally relevant concentrations. Results showed that MPs can induce oxidative stress and neurotoxicity in the animals, affecting their nutritional status. This study is the first to provide insights on the potential impact of MPs on freshwater fish.

Microplastic footprints in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and their implications to the Yangtze River Basin

Sansan Feng et al.

Summary: Microplastics are widely present in the environment, with fibers being the most common shape and polypropylene being the most abundant type. The study found that microplastic concentrations were higher in salty water than in fresh water, indicating that salt intrusion accelerates microplastic fragmentation. Urban agglomeration and interception associated with sedimentation and precipitation were identified as major factors contributing to increased microplastic concentrations in downstream areas, with the highest levels observed around the Yichang City in the Yangtze River watershed.

Microplastics alone or co-exposed with copper induce neurotoxicity and behavioral alterations on zebrafish larvae after a subchronic exposure

Dercia Santos et al.

Summary: The study found that both MPs and Cu have adverse effects on the survival and behavior patterns of zebrafish larvae, including reducing swimming speed, affecting avoidance behavior, and inhibiting AChE activity. This highlights the significant impacts of MPs and heavy metals on fish early life stages behavior.

Do Freshwater Fish Eat Microplastics? A Review with A Focus on Effects on Fish Health and Predictive Traits of MPs Ingestion

Silvia Galafassi et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that microplastics ingestion by wild freshwater fish increases with urbanization, although a direct correlation with surrounding water microplastics concentration has not been identified. Microplastics were found in all published articles, with more than 50% of specimens analyzed in one study showing microplastics presence. Additionally, microplastics were found in the gills of fish, and there is evidence that they can translocate to different tissues of the organism.

Occurrence of Microplastics in the Gastrointestinal Tract and Gills of Fish from Guangdong, South China

Zhengkun Pan et al.

Summary: Microplastic pollution has become a major global concern, with high incidences found in commercial fish in coastal areas of Guangdong, China. The study analyzed the abundance, type, shape, and color of microplastics in gills and the gastrointestinal tract of eight species of commercial fish in central and western Guangdong. The results showed that carnivorous fish had lower microplastic ingestion in their gastrointestinal tract compared to herbivores or omnivores, while middle-water fish were less likely to have gill contamination with microplastics.
