Summary

Researchers investigated whether supplementary feed containing probiotics and vitamin C could mitigate the reproductive harm caused by polystyrene particle exposure in tilapia, assessing steroid levels and gonadal histopathology after exposure. Results indicated that plastic particle pollution negatively affected tilapia reproduction and that probiotic and vitamin C supplementation offers a potential dietary strategy to counter these effects.

Overall, this study indicates that PP concentrations in the aquatic environment negatively affect tilapia reproduction, and this may pose a potential threat to the fish population in freshwater. Provision of supplementary feed containing probiotics and vitamin C may serve as an alternative way to counter the negative impact caused by plastic particles.
