[HTML][HTML] Sources, sinks and transformations of plastics in our oceans: review, management strategies and modelling
AG Rellán, DV Ares, CV Brea, AF López… - Science of the Total …, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract Currently, 60–80% of litter is plastic, and almost 10% ends up in the ocean directly
or indirectly. Plastics often suffer from photooxidation producing microplastics and these …

Microplastic ingestion by Mullus surmuletus Linnaeus, 1758 fish and its potential for causing oxidative stress
A total of 417 striped red mullet, Mullus surmuletus, were analyzed to study microplastic
ingestion and livers of fish were assessed to study effects of microplastics. Nearly one third …
