Summary

This dataset provides raw microplastic count data from deep-sea amphipods collected from six of the deepest marine trenches on Earth, documenting plastic ingestion at depths reaching nearly 11,000 meters. The data demonstrate that microplastic contamination has reached even the most remote and deepest parts of the global ocean.

SEM: Raw microplastic count
