Summary
This grant project abstract outlines research into the biological effects of dietary microplastics and PFAS-adsorbed microplastics on seabream metabolism and reproductive health, with the goal of supporting early-warning environmental systems. The project includes testing postbiotics as potential mitigation agents against contaminant toxicity.
The project investigates the biological effects of dietary exposure to microplastics (MPs) and PFAS-adsorbed MPs in seabream, focusing on metabolism and reproductive health. It also explores the potential of dietary post-biotics as a mitigation strategy against the toxicity of these environmental contaminants. Experimental data will support early-warning systems and inform regulatory bodies and stakeholders to improve plastic and PFAS management, promoting sustainable and health-protective interventions.This DMP describes the management of biological, genomic and phenotypic data generated in the project. It will ensures compliance with FAIR principles, ethical standards, and AquaServ open data policies.

This grant project summary describes a study investigating how dietary exposure to microplastics and PFAS-adsorbed microplastics affects metabolism and reproductive health in seabream. The project also tests whether dietary postbiotics can mitigate these toxic effects.
Effects of pollutants and microplastics ingestion on oxidative stress and monoaminergic activity of seabream brains
Researchers examined how microplastics and adsorbed pollutants affect gilthead seabream brains over 90 days, finding that pollutant-enriched microplastics caused increased oxidative stress and altered monoaminergic neurotransmitter activity compared to virgin microplastics.
Impact of a chronic waterborne exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics on the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata): Combining traditional and multi-omics approaches
Researchers exposed gilthead seabream to environmentally relevant and elevated polystyrene nanoplastic concentrations for 28 days, finding no visible tissue damage or blood abnormalities but significant shifts in gut microbiome diversity and dose-dependent changes in plasma metabolites linked to energy metabolism, suggesting subtle long-term risks for aquaculture production.
The influence of microplastics and halogenated contaminants in feed on toxicokinetics and gene expression in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
Researchers studied how microplastics and halogenated contaminants in fish feed affected the toxicokinetics of those contaminants, finding that microplastics in feed altered how persistent organic pollutants were absorbed and distributed in fish tissues.
Impact of polypropylene microplastics and chemical pollutants on European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) gut microbiota and health
Researchers investigated how polypropylene microplastics, alone and combined with chemical pollutants, affect the gut health and microbiome of European sea bass. They found that microplastic ingestion altered the gut microbial community composition and that combined exposure with pollutants amplified the harmful effects. The study suggests that microplastics may serve as carriers for toxic chemicals, compounding their impact on fish health and potentially affecting seafood safety.
