Data from: Microplastic pollution and thermal increase alter cellular stress responses and microbiomes in Antarctic and SubAntarctic fish
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset contains raw data from experiments exposing two Antarctic and sub-Antarctic fish species (Harpagifer bispinis and Harpagifer antarticus) to combined microplastic pollution and thermal stress. The data supports research into how these dual stressors alter cellular stress responses and microbiome composition in polar fish.
This dataset contains raw data related to stress responses of Harpagifer bispinis and Harpagifer antarticus exposed to thermal and microplastic pollution experiments.

This study investigated microplastic contamination in fish species from North Aceh, Indonesia, documenting plastic particle ingestion in commercially important local fish. The findings contribute to regional data on microplastic transfer through Indonesian coastal food webs.
Combined effects of PVC microplastics and thermal rise alter the oxidative stress response in Antarctic fish Harpagifer antarcticus and Sub-Antarctic Harpagifer bispinis
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied how PVC microplastics and rising water temperatures affect oxidative stress in two species of cold-water Antarctic and sub-Antarctic fish. They found that the two species responded quite differently to the same stressors, and that the combination of microplastics and heat together sometimes triggered unexpected responses not seen with either stressor alone. The study highlights that climate change and plastic pollution may interact in complex ways that could threaten polar marine life.
The Immune System in Antarctic and Subantarctic Fish of the Genus Harpagifer Is Affected by the Effects of Combined Microplastics and Thermal Increase
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined how rising ocean temperatures and microplastic exposure affect the immune systems of Antarctic and subantarctic fish of the genus Harpagifer, which are particularly vulnerable due to their ecological specialization. Combined climate and MP stress altered immune gene expression, suggesting these fish face compounding threats from global change.
Data and code from: Contemporary concentrations of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems correlate with molecular stress responses in fish
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists exposed small fish to microplastic levels similar to what's found in polluted lakes today (and what's predicted for the future) and found clear signs of cellular stress in their livers, with female fish showing stronger reactions than males. While this study was done in fish, not humans, it adds to growing evidence that even current, real-world levels of microplastic pollution can disrupt the basic biology of living things—a concern worth watching as research on human health effects continues to develop.
