Globally recognized as emergent contaminants, microplastics (MPs) are prevalent in
aquaculture habitats and subject to intense management. Aquaculture systems are at risk of …

Microplastics (MPs) are regarded as a global issue due to their toxicity effects on fish and
humans. Fish is a vital origin of human protein, which is necessary for body growth …

Background Together with poor biodegradability and insufficient recycling, the massive
production and use of plastics have led to widespread environmental contamination by nano …

Exposure to microplastics (MP) in aquatic environment leads to bioaccumulation in fish, with
MP size being a major factor in determining the accumulation profile. MPs absorbed into the …

Increasing production of synthetic plastics and poor management of plastic wastes have
dramatically increased the amount of plastics in the environment. In 2014, at the first United …

Microplastics (MP) pollution has received increased attention over the last few years.
However, while the number of studies documentating the ingestion of microplastics by fish …

Awareness of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments increased strongly during the
last decade. Environmental monitoring studies detected microplastic items in every tested …

The prevalence of microplastics in aquatic environments has raised concerns about their
availability and risks to aquatic biota. Since fish is an important source of animal protein for …

Environmental pollution caused by plastic waste is a growing global problem. Discarded
plastic products and debris (microplastic particles) in the oceans detrimentally affect marine …

In the literature, there is widespread consensus that methods in plastic research need
improvement. Current limitations in quality assurance and harmonization prevent progress …
