Summary
Researchers used transmission FTIR microscopy to identify microplastics extracted from the stomachs of Largemouth Bass caught in the Mid-Atlantic region, characterizing polymer types and particle morphology in a commercially important freshwater species. Microplastic ingestion by freshwater fish consumed by humans creates a direct dietary exposure route, with fish-gut contents serving as a sentinel for plastic contamination in regional watersheds.
For this study microplastics extracted from Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoi...
