New Insights into the Effects of Polystyrene Microplastics on Freshwater Fish, Labeo rohita: Assessment on Histopathology, Mineral Composition, Bioaccumulation and Antioxidant Activity
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers fed Labeo rohita fish diets containing up to 2.5% polystyrene microplastics over 90 days and found dose-dependent intestinal damage, reduced antioxidant enzyme activity, altered mineral composition in muscle tissue, and bioaccumulation of particles, suggesting risks to farmed fish health and potentially to people who consume them.
Evaluating the influence of aquatic environmental hazard, polylactic acid microplastics, on Labeo rohita
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists fed rohu fish (a species widely farmed for food) increasing amounts of microplastics from "biodegradable" plastic, and found it stunted their growth, damaged their gut lining, threw off their blood chemistry, and left them with less protein and fewer minerals in their bodies. This matters because these plastics, often marketed as eco-friendly alternatives, still break down into particles that harm the fish we eat, raising questions about what ends up on our plates and in our food supply.
Impact of ingested microplastics on phenotypic traits and biochemical parameters in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juvenile
AI summary Read the abstract
Juvenile Nile tilapia exposed to microplastics showed significantly lower survival rates, reduced body weight, smaller eye diameter, elevated superoxide dismutase activity, and reduced catalase activity compared to controls, indicating physiological stress and impaired antioxidant defense. These dose-response effects on a widely farmed species provide direct evidence that microplastic ingestion compromises fish growth and survival, with implications for aquaculture productivity and the integrity of fish-based food systems.
Evaluating Microplastic Load in Tissues of Consumable Finfishes from Tamil Nadu Coast, India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination across 13 commercially harvested finfish species from the Tamil Nadu coast of India, quantifying particle loads in edible tissues to assess both ecological exposure levels and the potential for human dietary uptake.
Impact of Microplastics on Reproductive and Physiological Aspects of Aquatic Inhabitants
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastic exposure affects reproduction and physiology in freshwater aquatic organisms, finding that plastic particles disrupt hormonal signaling, reduce fertility, and impair development across a range of sensitive freshwater species.
