Temporal Bioindication of Microplastics by the Asian Clam, C. Fluminea
AI summary Read the abstract
Monthly sampling of Asian clams over seven months revealed that 84% of specimens contained microplastics, with concentrations inversely correlated with stream discharge, suggesting clams reflect microplastic storage during dry periods and export during floods. These results support the Asian clam as a useful temporal bioindicator for microplastic pollution, offering a biological monitoring tool that captures seasonal variability in contamination levels.
Microplastics Uptake and Egestion Dynamics in Pacific Oysters, Magallana Gigas (Thunberg, 1793), Under Controlled Conditions
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied how Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) ingest and egest microplastics under controlled conditions, finding that ingestion rates were rapid and dose-dependent while egestion was slower, resulting in temporary accumulation that increases the oysters' exposure to adsorbed pollutants and pathogens during the retention period.
