Use of the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) filtration function as a sustainable tool for water column microplastic monitoring
Repository of the University of Primorsk (University of Primorska)
2024
Jenko, Gaja
Summary
Researchers investigated using Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) as living samplers to monitor microplastic levels in seawater, taking advantage of the mussels' natural filter-feeding behavior to concentrate particles from the surrounding water column. This biological monitoring approach could provide a cost-effective and ecologically relevant tool for tracking microplastic pollution.
