Microplastic contamination in commercial fish from the Central Black Sea
Summary
Researchers analyzed microplastic ingestion in nine commercially important fish species from the Central Black Sea, documenting the occurrence and characteristics of MPs across multiple seafood species. The study raises food safety concerns by demonstrating that widely consumed seafood carries microplastic contamination that can transfer to human diets through routine fish consumption.
Plastics have become integral to modern life due to their versatility, affordability, durability, and lightweight nature. Microplastic (MP) pollution is a significant danger to marine ecosystems. This study examines MP ingestion in nine commercially important fish species (European anchovy...
