Toxicological impact of dietary exposure to polypropylene microplastics in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
AI summary Read the abstract
Atlantic salmon were fed polypropylene microplastics at five concentrations for 90 days; control fish already contained PP from standard feed, and higher-dose groups showed liver and intestinal effects, raising concerns about microplastic exposure in aquaculture.
Quantification of microplastic in fillet and organs of farmed and wild salmonids- a comparison of methods for detection and quantification
AI summary Read the abstract
Three analytical methods were compared for detecting microplastics in salmon tissue, and all three found low but measurable concentrations. The study highlights both the promise and limitations of current methods, underscoring the need for standardization to accurately assess how much plastic consumers ingest through farmed and wild salmon.
Microplastics in Aquaculture Systems and Their Transfer in the Food Chain
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics accumulate throughout aquaculture systems — the fish farms that produce much of the world's seafood — and traced how these particles move up the food chain to reach human consumers, raising concerns about the safety of farmed seafood.
Microplastics in fishmeal: A threatening issue for sustainable aquaculture and human health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics enter aquaculture systems through contaminated fishmeal — made from wild-caught fish that have ingested ocean plastics — and accumulate in farmed fish that are then eaten by humans. The review calls for improved microplastic screening during fish feed production to protect both aquaculture sustainability and public health.
Current State of Research on the Prevalence of Microplastics in Aquatic Fish and Their Impact on Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination in fish across all seven continents, finding marine fish were studied 2.6 times more than freshwater species, and that microplastics trigger oxidative stress, alter biochemical pathways, and accumulate through biotransformation in fish tissues globally.
