Evaluation of microplastic in the digestive tract of fish species in the vicinity of the Itaqui Port Complex, São Luís – MA
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers evaluated microplastic content in the digestive tracts of fish species collected in the vicinity of the Itaqui Port Complex in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil. The study characterised microplastic presence and quantity in fish from a commercially and industrially active coastal area, contributing to the understanding of microplastic contamination in South American estuarine fish communities.
