Microplastics hamper the fertilization success of a broadcast spawning bivalve through reducing gamete collision and gamete fusion efficiency

Wei Shi et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that microplastics have significant effects on the fertilization success of broadcast spawning bivalves. Microplastics weaken sperm swimming performance by reducing ATP production and cell viability, leading to a decreased probability of gamete collision. Furthermore, microplastics induce oxidative stress and affect ion transport in gametes, resulting in gamete fusion failure.

Microplastics influence physiological processes, growth and reproduction in the Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum

Weiwei Jiang et al.

Summary: The study found that both 5 and 10 μm PS microplastics were ingested and accumulated in various organs of the Manila clam. This led to increased respiration and excretion rates, decreased feeding and absorption efficiency, and ultimately slower growth. The DEB model predicts negative impacts on growth and reproductive potentiality after 200 days of PS microplastic exposure. Transciptomic analysis revealed significant alterations in carbon and protein metabolism pathways in clams exposed to PS microplastics.

Microplastics boost the accumulation of tetrabromobisphenol A in a commercial clam and elevate corresponding food safety risks

Weixia Zhang et al.

Summary: Marine bivalve molluscs, such as blood clam, are a major seafood choice for consumers. This study found that the accumulation of the pollutant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in clams is aggravated by the presence of microplastics (MPs). This leads to higher potential food safety risks for consumers, as indicated by higher target hazard quotients (THQs) and lower margins of exposure (MoEs). Furthermore, the accumulation of TBBPA disrupts the detoxification process and limits the energy available for detoxification in clams.

Summary: The present study investigated the toxic effects of microplastics (MPs) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), alone and in combination, on the motility of two microalgae species, and assessed their impacts on energy supply and oxidative stress status. The results showed that the motility of microalgae was significantly suppressed by the pollutants, which was associated with a decrease in intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content and oxidative stress. Moreover, the pollutants inhibited the growth of microalgae, and coexposure to TBBPA and MPs had a higher toxic effect than single exposure.

The problem of marine litters for cultured teleost

Tomoki Honryo et al.

Summary: The study investigated marine litter ingested by Pacific bluefin tuna juveniles under captive conditions, focusing on microplastics as the main type of litter. Findings suggest that the inability of Pacific bluefin tuna to vomit or excrete ingested marine litter could lead to energy exhaustion and mortality. This highlights the significant impact of marine litter on the aquaculture industry, especially tuna aquaculture.

Are bio-based and biodegradable microplastics impacting for blue mussel (Mytilus edulis)

Amina Khalid et al.

Summary: The toxicological effects of polylactic acid microparticles on blue mussels were evaluated in this study, showing no significant oxidative stress, neurotoxicity, or immunotoxicity. Multivariate analysis of metabolomic data allowed differentiation of individuals based on exposure, with downregulation of glycerophospholipids identified in individuals exposed to microplastics.

Ingestion of plastic and non-plastic microfibers by farmed gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) at different life stages

S. Savoca et al.

Summary: Environmental pollution by plastic particles poses a potential threat to aquatic organisms and ecosystems; microplastics were found in farmed fish species with less attention compared to wild ones; significant differences in chemical composition were observed in Sparus aurata and Cyprinus carpio.

Abundance, interaction, ingestion, ecological concerns, and mitigation policies of microplastic pollution in riverine ecosystem: A review

Rakesh Kumar et al.

Summary: Microplastics (<5 mm) pose an environmental hazard to natural ecosystems and humanity due to their widespread presence and negative effects on aquatic organisms. Sampling, extraction, and detection of microplastics from various sources are complex and challenging. Global change stress, ecological concerns, and the need for science-policy integration are highlighted in the context of microplastic pollution in riverine ecosystems.

Assessment of the effect of long-term exposure to microplastics and depuration period in Sparus aurata Linnaeus, 1758: Liver and blood biomarkers

Antonia Solomando et al.

Summary: Exposure to LDPE-MPs had significant impacts on oxidative stress and inflammation biomarkers in the liver and plasma of Sparus aurata, while no significant changes were observed in erythrocytes. During the depuration period, most of these biomarkers showed a trend of recovery and reached levels similar to those of the control group. This indicates a certain degree of reversibility in the effects of LDPE-MPs on S. aurata.

Detection of Microplastic in Human Placenta and Meconium in a Clinical Setting

Thorsten Braun et al.

Summary: The study identified the presence of microplastics (> 50 μm) in placenta and meconium samples from caesarean deliveries, with polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyurethane being the main types detected. However, airborne polyurethane microplastics were also found in the operating room, indicating potential contamination sources. Further research into nano-sized plastics in human tissues is recommended.
