Researchers analyzed the presence, abundance, and chemical composition of anthropogenic particles in the gastrointestinal tracts of two key fish species (Patagonotothen guntheri and Patagonotothen ramsayi) from the Namuncura/Banco Burdwood Marine Protected Area in the South Atlantic.
El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la presencia, abundancia, concentración y naturaleza química de partículas antropogénicas presentes en el tracto gastrointestinal de dos especies de peces, Patagonotothen guntheri y Patagonotothen ramsayi, ambas clave en la red trófica del Área Marina Protegida Namuncurá/Banco Burdwood (AMPN/BB). Las muestras fueron tomadas en la campaña oceanográfica en el buque Puerto Deseado de agosto 2018. paper relacionado: -Ojeda M., Rimondino G., Fraysse C., Cossi PF., Boy CC., Pérez AF. 2024.

Microplastic ingestion in key fish species of food webs in the Southwest Atlantic (Marine Protected Area Namuncurá / Burdwood Bank)
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists analyzed microplastics in the digestive tracts of two nototheniid fish species from a remote South Atlantic marine protected area (MPA Namuncurá/Burdwood Bank) and found high occurrence rates — over 80% for one species and over 90% for the other — with fibers dominant. The discovery of substantial microplastic ingestion even in a protected, sub-Antarctic ecosystem underscores that no marine environment is isolated from plastic contamination, and raises concerns about microplastic transfer through food webs to predators including humans who consume seafood.
Microplastics in fishes in amazon riverine beaches: Influence of feeding mode and distance to urban settlements
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found microplastics in the digestive tracts of 29 fish species from Amazon riverine beaches, with contamination levels influenced by fish feeding mode and distance to urban settlements within a protected area.
Biochemical responses and ingestion of microplastics by native fishes in the Atlantic Forest, southern Brazil
AI summary
Researchers assessed fish health along a contamination gradient in Brazil's Atlantic Forest and found that microplastic accumulation was highest in carnivorous fish at impacted midstream sites, while biochemical stress markers were elevated even in upstream areas considered relatively pristine, underscoring the need for ongoing biomonitoring.
Meteorological and climatic variability influences anthropogenic microparticle content in the stomach of the European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus
AI summary Read the abstract
European anchovies in the NW Mediterranean showed microparticle ingestion rates influenced by meteorological and climatic patterns, with fragment abundance linked to low North Atlantic Oscillation index values that transported polluted water from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The findings reveal that climate variability shapes fish exposure to microplastics, complicating predictions of seafood contamination levels and human dietary intake of plastic particles.
Microplastic ingestion by pelagic and benthic fish and diet composition: A case study in the NW Iberian shelf
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found microplastics in 78% of fish examined across four pelagic and benthic species from the NW Iberian shelf, with ingestion rates varying by feeding ecology and habitat depth, and identified predominantly fibers and fragments in gastrointestinal contents following alkaline tissue digestion.
