Microplastic contamination in the endemic Fiji maskray (Neotrygon romeoi)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined 21 Fiji maskrays and found microplastics in over 71% of specimens, with an average of nearly 7 particles per individual. Fragments were the most common shape, and particle sizes ranged from 63 to 500 micrometers. This study provides the first baseline data on microplastic contamination in a batoid species from the South Pacific, highlighting potential exposure concerns for communities that rely on these fish for food.
Microplastic occurrence in 21 coastal marine fish species from fishing communities on Viti Levu, Fiji
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed microplastic ingestion in 184 fish from 21 species across three coastal communities in Fiji and found microplastics in 74% of fish examined. Fibers were the most common particle type at 66%, with polyethylene and polypropylene the dominant polymers. This dataset, the largest of its kind for Fiji, establishes a critical baseline for monitoring plastic pollution in the region's coastal fishing grounds.
