Researchers quantified and characterized microplastics in sublittoral sediments of Guanabara Bay, a highly eutrophic tropical estuary in Brazil, finding widespread contamination with fibers and fragments at concentrations reflecting the bay's heavy urbanization and poor waste management.
Microplastics contamination in fish, water, and sediment surrounding Ubatuba beaches, Southeastern Brazil
AI summary Read the abstract
Simultaneous analysis of microplastic contamination in fish (Atherinella brasiliensis), water, and sediment at three Ubatuba beaches in Brazil captured spatial and seasonal variations across exposed, calm, and sheltered estuary environments. The integrated approach confirmed fish ingestion of microplastics and revealed correlations between environmental presence and biotic uptake across seasons.
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.
