Summary

Researchers reviewed how microplastics accumulate throughout aquaculture systems — the fish farms that produce much of the world's seafood — and traced how these particles move up the food chain to reach human consumers, raising concerns about the safety of farmed seafood.

As emerging pollutants, microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in aquatic environments. However, our knowledge concerning microplastic pollution in aquaculture systems is limited. Aquaculture systems are designed specifically to rear aquatic animals that serve as a food...
