Spatial and seasonal variations in biofilm formation on microplastics in coastal waters

Bin Zhang et al.

Summary: The research found that seawater temperature is the main factor influencing the formation of biofilms on microplastics in the ocean, and that the structure and composition of microbial communities vary significantly with seasons and locations.

Seasonal distributions of microplastics and estimation of the microplastic load ingested by wild caught fish in the East China Sea

Feng Zhang et al.

Summary: This study assessed the seasonal variation in MP abundance in the Zhoushan fishing ground and found no accumulation of MPs in fish after continuous monitoring, with the average number of particles per fish lower than previous global marine studies. The research provided a calculation of the weight of MPs ingested by fish and an estimate of the load of accumulated MPs, indicating that fish in ZFG annually ingest around 3 kg of MPs.

Trophic transfer of microplastics from mysids to fish greatly exceeds direct ingestion from the water column

Takaaki Hasegawa et al.

Summary: Studies have found that fish ingest microplastics mainly through trophic transfer, and prey such as mysids can fragment microplastics. This suggests that microplastics may have adverse effects on organisms.

Plastic ingestion by marine fish is widespread and increasing

Matthew S. Savoca et al.

Summary: Research has found that hundreds of marine fish species worldwide have ingested plastic debris, with ingestion rates increasing over time. The ingestion of plastic by marine fish is influenced by geographical, ecological, and behavioral factors, pointing to species and regions in urgent need of further study.

Plastic ingestion by fish in the coastal waters of the Hengchun Peninsula, Taiwan: Associated with human activity but no evidence of biomagnification

Kuan-Ju Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that marine fish in Taiwan are commonly ingesting microplastics, primarily fiber-based with blue color. The quantity of ingested microplastics is related to the fish's habitat, but not significantly associated with the fish's size, trophic level, and taxonomic family.

A Bayesian analysis of the factors determining microplastics ingestion in fishes

Garth A. Covernton et al.

Summary: Researchers investigated the ingestion of microplastic particles (MPs) in marine and freshwater fishes to identify factors influencing MPs intake. They found that MPs concentration in fish digestive tracts did not increase with trophic level or body size, indicating no biomagnification occurred. However, larger fish were more likely to contain MPs, and clupeids showed higher MPs concentrations compared to other taxonomic families. Standardized methodologies are crucial for accurate comparisons among studies.

Microplastic fibers in the gut of highly consumed fish species from the southern Caspian Sea

Mohammad Javad Nematollahi et al.

Summary: The study found that leaping mullet had the highest frequency of microplastics (MPs) in their gut in the southern Caspian Sea biome, while Caspian kutum had the lowest. MPs were mainly in fiber shape, and the dominant polymers were black MPs, polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate. Different fish species showed significant differences in condition index, suggesting that MPs may have adverse health impacts on leaping mullet and common carp, but not on Caspian kutum.

Microplastic and artificial cellulose microfibers ingestion by reef fishes in the Guarapari Islands, southwestern Atlantic

Raphael M. Macieira et al.

Summary: The study found that some samples of 21 reef fish species from the southwestern Atlantic had ingested microplastics and artificial cellulose particles, with the tomtate grunt ingesting the most particles among the species. Man-made cellulose fibers were more common than microplastics in the samples.

Microplastics in aquatic environments: A review on occurrence, distribution, toxic effects, and implications for human health

Gustavo Axel Elizalde-Velazquez et al.

Summary: Microplastics, which are fragments, fibers, granules, flakes, and spheres with a diameter or length of less than 5 mm, can enter aquatic environments through the breakdown of larger plastics or sewage spillage. Once in the environment, they may be transported via wind and water movement, posing a threat to aquatic organisms and potentially affecting human health. Research focuses on the distribution of microplastics in global aquatic ecosystems, their impact on aquatic organisms, and the potential toxic effects on humans.

Ingestion of microplastics by Hypanus guttatus stingrays in the Western Atlantic Ocean (Brazilian Amazon Coast)

Tamyris Pegado et al.

Summary: This study is the first to document the ingestion of microplastics by Longnose stingrays in the Western Atlantic Ocean. It found that fibers were the most common type of microplastic ingested and provided a baseline for future research on microplastic ingestion by dasyatid rays in the Atlantic Ocean.
