Are fish larvae contaminated before they start eating? First evidence of microplastic contamination in the yolk-sac of wild fish larvae Open
Microplastics (MPs) ingestion in wild fish during the early stages remains a field with scarce information and contradictory findings in laboratory studies. This study evaluated whether MPs contamination of larval fish stages begins at the…

Assessing Microplastic Contamination and Depuration Effectiveness in Farmed Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) Open
This study assessed the presence, abundance, and characteristics of microplastics (MPs) in farmed Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and evaluated the efficacy of depuration in reducing MPs under laboratory-controlled and commercial condi…

An Integrated Approach to Assessing the Potential of Plastic Fishing Gear to Release Microplastics Open
Abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) poses significant environmental threats, namely contributing to microplastic (MP) pollution. However, the release of MPs from ALDFG remains poorly studied, despite its crucial role in unde…

Assessing Microplastic Contamination in Zooplanktonic Organisms from Two River Estuaries Open
The present work aims to evaluate the MP contamination of zooplankton and its impact on MP trophic transfers at the lower levels of the food web in a field study. During 1 year, seasonal surveys were conducted to collect zooplankton and wa…
