Summary

Researchers investigating microplastic contamination in the freshwater fish Pseudochondrostoma duriense from the Minho River estuary detected anthropogenic debris particles and measured biomarkers of neurotoxicity, oxidative stress, and metabolic disruption, providing preliminary evidence of microplastic-driven physiological harm in a native Iberian species.

Body Systems
Study Type Environmental

The contamination of the freshwater fish Pseudochondrostoma duriense from the Minho River estuary by anthropogenic debris suspect of being microplastics (MP-S) was investigated. Biomarkers (neurotoxicity, energy-related, biotransformation, oxidative stress, and...
