Microplastics (Mps) pose a significant environmental challenge with global implications. To
examine the effect of Mps on coastal and oceanic surface waters, as well as in marine …

The microplastic body burden of marine animals is often assumed to reflect levels of
environmental contamination, yet variations in feeding ecology and regional trait expression …

Extensive usage of plastic in different industries and household usage has degraded to
microplastic due to environmental conditions over the last year. While several researchers …

Microplastics (MPs) accumulation in rocky shore organisms has limited knowledge. This
study investigated MPs accumulation in filter-feeding oysters, herbivorous limpets and …

Microplastic pollution is ubiquitous in the oceans, threatening the health of marine
ecosystems. The deep sea is recognized as a sink for microplastics, but there is a paucity of …

This study explores microplastic (MP) presence in the gastrointestinal tracts of deep-sea fish
from the Central Indian Ocean, off the Indian coast. Among the 27 species examined, 19 …

Ever since the Taiwanese government introduced the giant freshwater shrimp
(GFS)(Macrobrachium rosenbergii) to Saint Lucia in the 1980s, its production has increased …

Marine vertebrates, particularly green sea turtles, are especially vulnerable to plastic
pollution through ingestion or entanglement. This study investigated wild juvenile green sea …

Phthalates are widely employed plasticizers blended to plastic polymers that, during plastic
aging and weathering are prone to leach in the surrounding environment. Thus, phthalates …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are abundant across the world in the marine environment
and so it is vital that we gain further understanding of their fate and their possible impacts on …
