Occurrence and spatial distribution of microplastics, and their correlation with petroleum in coastal waters of Hainan Island, China*

Liu Gao et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the distribution, abundance, morphology, and composition of microplastics (MPs) in surface seawater and sediment of Hainan Island. The results showed that the abundance of MPs in seawater was similar to other areas of the South China Sea, while the abundance in sediment was higher. The predominant shape of MPs was linear and fragmented, with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) being the dominant polymer, possibly originating from laundry wastewater. The petroleum concentration was positively correlated with MPs pollution in seawater.

Ingestion and Depuration of Microplastics by a Planktivorous Coral Reef Fish, Pomacentrus amboinensis

Marina F. M. Santana et al.

Summary: This study investigated microplastic ingestion and depuration kinetics in the planktivorous damselfish using environmentally relevant exposure conditions. The results showed that damselfish ingested both polypropylene (PP) particles and polyester (PET) fibers, with PET fibers having larger body burden and longer depuration rates than PP particles. Higher concentrations of microplastics led to increased body burden and decreased depuration rates. These findings are crucial for improving protocols for future microplastics research and understanding patterns of microplastic contamination in marine organisms.
