Correction: Effects of microplastic exposure on the body condition and behaviour of planktivorous reef fish (Acanthochromis polyacanthus)
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a published correction to a previous study that examined how microplastic exposure affects the body condition and behavior of a planktivorous reef fish species. The correction addresses errors in the original article's data or methodology. The original research investigated whether ingesting microplastics changes how reef fish feed, grow, and behave in their natural environment.

Effects of microplastic exposure on the body condition and behaviour of planktivorous reef fish (Acanthochromis polyacanthus)
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed juvenile reef fish to microplastics at various concentrations and found no significant effects on growth, body condition, or behavior when plastic particles were the same size as their food. However, when particle size was reduced to roughly a quarter of the food size, fish ingested dramatically more plastics, and replacing food with plastic harmed their growth. The findings suggest that as plastics fragment into smaller pieces in the ocean, they become increasingly problematic for planktivorous species.
Correction to Stable Isotope Insights into Microplastic Contamination within Freshwater Food Webs
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a published correction to a study on stable isotope analysis of microplastic contamination within freshwater food webs, correcting a specific error in the original article. The underlying study used isotope tracers to track how microplastics move through freshwater food web organisms.

Corrigendum: Frequency of Microplastics in Mesopelagic Fishes from the Northwest Atlantic
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a published correction notice for a previously published article on the frequency of microplastics in mesopelagic fishes from the Northwest Atlantic. The original study found microplastics in deep-dwelling fish, and this correction updates specific data in the published record.
