Summary
Researchers investigated how nanoplastic particles affect fat metabolism in gilthead seabream, an important aquaculture fish, suggesting that even at very small sizes, plastic particles may interfere with key physiological processes in marine species.
Small plastic particles are considered emerging pollutants, and this has motivated research to establish their ecological and environmental consequences. Currently, the study of the effects of nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic organisms is still scarce, especially in...
