Microplastic Pollution in Shellfish Aquaculture: Occurrence, Impact, and Possible Remedies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review documents widespread microplastic contamination in shellfish aquaculture, detailing how MPs enter farming systems and cause toxicological harm, behavioral changes, growth suppression, and reproductive failure in commercially farmed shellfish. Because shellfish are filter feeders consumed whole by humans, MP accumulation in these species creates a direct and concentrated pathway for human ingestion.
Assess the microplastic prevalence and characterization in bivalve (Lamellidens marginalis): implications for freshwater ecosystems and human health
