Microplastic ingestion in invasive mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki): a nationwide survey from Türkiye
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined microplastic ingestion in 621 invasive mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) from 24 freshwater sites across Turkey and found microplastics present across diverse habitat types, with fibers the dominant form (66%), and contamination levels varying with anthropogenic pressure.
Microplastic ingestion in invasive mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki): a nationwide survey from Türkiye
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted a nationwide survey of microplastic ingestion in 621 invasive mosquitofish across 24 freshwater sites in Turkey. They found that fibers were the dominant particle shape at 66%, with PET and polyethylene being the most common polymer types, and that fish from sites with higher anthropogenic pressure contained more microplastics. The study provides large-scale evidence that freshwater fish widely ingest microplastics, with contamination levels reflecting local human activity.
Microplastic ingestion in invasive mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki): a nationwide survey from Türkiye
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers surveyed microplastic ingestion in over 600 mosquitofish across 24 freshwater sites in Türkiye, finding microplastics in fish at nearly all sites, with PET and polyethylene fibers dominating and higher contamination near agricultural and residential areas. The study demonstrates that this invasive, surface-feeding fish is an effective indicator species for tracking localized microplastic pollution.
Microplastics ingestion by the exotic fish Gambusia holbrooki in two Mediterranean coastal lagoons
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found microplastics in the stomachs of the invasive mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki in two Mediterranean coastal lagoons in Spain. The findings suggest this widely distributed fish ingests microplastics alongside its natural diet of invertebrates.
