The Effects of different concentrations of microplastics based on the feeding ability rate of oysters
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that oysters exposed to microplastic concentrations above 5 mg/L showed significantly reduced feeding and filtration rates, with higher concentrations causing greater disruption, suggesting that microplastic pollution could impair the health and ecosystem function of commercially and ecologically important shellfish.
First assessment of microplastic concentrations in oysters, water and sediment in Laucala Bay, Fiji Islands
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted the first microplastic survey of oysters, water, and sediment in Fiji's Laucala Bay, finding microplastics in wild oysters and the surrounding water — with fibers, nylon, and latex among the most common types — providing baseline data for food safety and future Pacific aquaculture research.
Abundance and characteristics of microplastics in shellfish from Jiaozhou Bay, China
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found microplastics in both wild and farmed oysters and clams from China's Jiaozhou Bay, estimating that average seafood consumption exposes Chinese consumers to over 1,200 microplastic particles per person per year through shellfish alone.
