Data set to 'Microplastics in aquaculture - potential impacts on inflammatory processes in Nile tilapia'
AI summary Read the abstract
This entry is a duplicate dataset record for the same Nile tilapia aquaculture microplastics study referenced in entry 38572. Both entries refer to raw and analyzed data from the same publication.
Microplastics in aquaculture - Potential impacts on inflammatory processes in Nile tilapia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers fed Nile tilapia a diet containing a mixture of four common microplastics and found that the particles triggered inflammatory responses in both adult and juvenile fish. The microplastics activated immune pathways and caused tissue changes in the gut and other organs, with juveniles being more sensitive. Since tilapia is one of the most widely farmed fish in the world, these findings raise concerns about the safety of farm-raised fish exposed to microplastic-contaminated water.
Evaluation of Toxicological Risks and Effects of Microplastics on Nile Tilapia (Oreochromisniloticus) under in Vitro Laboratory Conditions
AI summary Read the abstract
This laboratory study evaluated the toxicological effects of microplastics on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) under controlled conditions, finding measurable harm at the concentrations tested. The results have implications for managing fish health in aquaculture operations with microplastic-contaminated water.
Effects of Microplastics on Gene Expression, Muscular Performance, and Immunological Responses in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): Seasonal and Habitat Variations
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found microplastics in both the gut and muscle tissue of Nile tilapia fish from two sites along the Nile River in Egypt, with contamination levels varying by season and location. The microplastics activated genes linked to muscle wasting, cell death, and inflammation while suppressing growth-related genes, with the worst effects seen during summer months. Since tilapia is a widely consumed fish, these findings raise concerns about microplastic-related damage being passed to humans through the food supply.
Raw Data for Microplastic Identification and Quantification in Nile Tilapia and Milkfish from Public Markets in Makati City
AI summary Read the abstract
This record is a raw dataset, not a research study. It reports lab testing of the digestive tracts of 20 tilapia and 20 milkfish bought from two public markets in Makati City, Philippines, for microplastics. No microplastic particles were found in any of the 40 fish tested.
