Summary

This dataset supports a study that found 21 reef fish species from the southwestern Atlantic had ingested microplastics or artificial cellulose microfibers. Nine species ingested particles in total, with most ingesting both plastic and cellulose types, documenting widespread microfiber contamination in Atlantic reef fish.

This study evaluated the ingestion of microplastic and artificial cellulose by 103 specimens belonging to 21 reef fish species from the southwestern Atlantic. Nine species ingested particles- seven species both types and three only one kind.
