Microplastics in Freshwater Systems: A Review on Its Accumulation and Effects on Fishes
AI summary Read the abstract
This review covers the accumulation and effects of microplastics in freshwater fish, including how fish ingest them through feeding and the physical and chemical harm they can cause. Since many freshwater fish species are consumed by humans, the findings are relevant to food safety.
Micro(nano)plastics in the fish gastrointestinal tract: A mini review and relevance to One Health perspective
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate in fish digestive systems and enter the broader food web, highlighting that the fish gut acts as a critical pathway for these particles — and the chemicals stuck to them — to travel from the environment into the human food supply.
A Meta-Analysis of the Characterisations of Plastic Ingested by Fish Globally
AI summary Read the abstract
This meta-analysis examined what types of plastic fish are swallowing around the world. The findings show that fish most commonly ingest tiny microplastic fibers and fragments smaller than 1 millimeter. Since many of these fish species end up on our plates, this research raises important questions about how much microplastic we may be consuming through our seafood diet.
