Summary

This is a retraction notice for a study on polystyrene microplastic exposure in Catla catla fish, withdrawn after data irregularities were identified, including figures that appeared to be reused from other papers representing different conditions or species. The retraction underscores the importance of data integrity in microplastics research, where replication and accuracy are critical.

After publication, concerns were raised regarding data irregularities.Specifically, Figure 7 in the paper appears to partially overlap with Figure 4 in 1 , where it represents a different condition, and Figure 5 in 2 , where it represents a different species.Concerns were also raised regarding the error bars displayed in Figure 6.
