Evaluation of microplastic content in mediterranian mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819) on the Croatian coast of the Adriatic sea
AI summary Read the abstract
This Croatian thesis examined microplastic content in Mediterranean mussels from three locations along the Croatian Adriatic coast. Researchers found microplastics in both wild and farmed mussels, with fragment and fiber types identified across all sampling sites.
U radu su predstavljeni podatci o pojavnosti, kategoriji i dužinskom rasponu mikroplastike kod vrste Mytilus galloprovincialis, Lamarck, 1819. Uzorkovanje je obavljeno na tri lokacije na sjevernom (Limski zaljev), srednjem (Šibenski kanal) i južnom (Malostonski zaljev) dijelu Jadranskog mora. Uzorkovano je N=60 jedinki (N=30 divljih, N=30 uzgojnih). Rezultati pokazuju prisutnost mikroplastike kod svih analiziranih jedinki. Različite kategorije mikroplastike (vlakna, fragmenti i ostali) izolirane su iz tkiva dagnji varirale su ovisno o vrsti čestica od 0,02 do 4,46 čestica / g u divljih i 0,02 do 5,52 čestica / g u uzgojnih i od 0,033 do 6,36 čestica / jedinci u divljih i 0,33 do 5,43 čestica / jedinci u uzgojnih jedinki. Izolirane čestice mikroplastike i materijali korišteni u uzgoju analizirani su na Micro-Raman spektrometru. Ovo istraživanje je prva procjena mikroplastike u vrste M. galloprovincialis u istočnom Jadranskom moru te predstavlja osnovu za daljnja istraživanja.

Microplastics in Mediterranean Mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis: Comparison between Cultured and WildType Mussels from the Northern Adriatic
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers assessed microplastic contamination in the digestive glands of Mediterranean mussels collected from pristine, aquaculture, and port areas along the northern Adriatic coast. The highest contamination was found in mussels from a Croatian marina, with the smallest particles in the 5-to-10-micrometer range being the most prevalent. The study highlights that mussels accumulate microplastics regardless of their environment, with port areas showing notably higher contamination levels.

This Croatian thesis examined microplastic contamination in Mediterranean mussels and flat oysters from Sibenik Bay, Croatia. Researchers collected organisms from commercial aquaculture sites and analyzed microplastic abundance and types using standardized methods.
Prisutnost mikroplastike i histološka analiza probavne žlijezde dagnji Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819 s područja sjevernog Jadrana
AI summary Read the abstract
This Croatian study investigated the presence of microplastics in the digestive glands of Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) collected from six stations in the northern Adriatic Sea. Microplastics were detected in all sampled mussels, with fibers being the most common type and histological damage observed in some tissues. The study provides evidence of microplastic exposure and potential harm in mussels from a semi-enclosed sea.
Assessment of microplastic particles ingested by Mytilus galloprovincialis along the Adriatic coast
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers sampled 176 Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels from six stations across the Adriatic Sea as part of the INTERREG IT-HR MARLESS project, digesting tissue with acid and extracting microplastics via saturated sodium chloride filtration. Microplastics were detected at all sampled locations, with shape, size, and color characterization revealing widespread contamination across the study region.
