Jessica Song, Moritz Müller, Gunnar Gerdts

Summary

This research examined the effects of microplastic exposure on oxidative stress biomarkers in Mediterranean sea mussels collected from Croatian aquaculture sites, finding elevated antioxidant enzyme activities at contaminated locations. The biomarker response pattern correlated with ambient microplastic concentrations, supporting mussel biochemical assays as pollution monitoring tools.
