Corrigendum: Frequency of Microplastics in Mesopelagic Fishes from the Northwest Atlantic
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a published correction notice for a previously published article on the frequency of microplastics in mesopelagic fishes from the Northwest Atlantic. The original study found microplastics in deep-dwelling fish, and this correction updates specific data in the published record.

Frequency of Microplastics in Mesopelagic Fishes from the Northwest Atlantic
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics were found in the stomachs of mesopelagic fish collected from the Northwest Atlantic, with ingestion rates and particle types varying by species and depth. The study expands the known distribution of microplastic ingestion into deep-water fish communities, suggesting that plastic contamination has penetrated even mid-water food webs far from the surface.

This is a correction notice for a previously published meta-analysis on microplastic prevalence in freshwater fish and does not contain new scientific findings.
Author Correction: The vertical distribution and biological transport of marine microplastics across the epipelagic and mesopelagic water column
AI summary Read the abstract
This is a published author correction to a paper on the vertical distribution and biological transport of marine microplastics through the epipelagic and mesopelagic water column. It is a correction notice, not a research article.
Microplastic in the stomachs of open-ocean and deep-sea fishes of the North-East Atlantic
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated microplastic occurrence in the stomachs of 390 fish from three pelagic and two deep-sea species in the North-East Atlantic, comparing plastic ingestion between fish occupying contrasting ocean compartments. The study documented microplastic presence across species at different depths, highlighting how plastic contamination extends throughout the oceanic water column.
