Summary

This study examined microplastic ingestion by juvenile clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) under controlled laboratory conditions, assessing how the fish responded to plastic particles relative to natural food. The work contributes to understanding the risk of microplastic uptake in coral reef fish species already threatened by environmental stressors.
