RETRACTED: Developmental toxicity in zebrafish exposed to polyethylene microplastics under static and semi-static aquatic systems
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers evaluated the developmental toxicity of polyethylene microplastics on zebrafish embryos and larvae under both static and semi-static exposure conditions. They found that even low concentrations of microplastics negatively affected hatching rates and caused morphological changes, with the type of exposure system influencing the severity of effects. Note: this paper has been retracted by the journal.
Recent advances of microplastics toxicity and fate on zebrafish-a review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes evidence on how micro- and nanoplastics cause developmental, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and oxidative stress toxicity in zebrafish, positioning the species as a valuable vertebrate model for understanding plastic pollutant effects across trophic levels. Zebrafish research is accelerating mechanistic understanding of how microplastics harm vertebrate biology, providing insights relevant to assessing risks for fish-eating wildlife and humans.
Bioaccumulation and Toxic Effects of Micro- and Nanoplastics in Zebrafish: A Critical Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers comprehensively reviewed micro- and nanoplastic bioaccumulation and toxicity in zebrafish, finding that these particles accumulate in digestive organs, gills, liver, and brain, inducing oxidative stress, developmental delays, neurotoxicity, and transgenerational reproductive impairments that highlight broad ecological risks.
RETRACTED: Environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastic particles influence larval fish ecology
AI summary Read the abstract
Note: This paper has been retracted by the journal. The original study claimed that microplastic exposure at environmental levels harmed larval fish development and behavior, but the findings were later deemed unreliable. Retracted studies should not be used as evidence for microplastic health effects, though the topic of microplastic impacts on early-life fish development continues to be studied by other research groups.
