The potential of microplastic pellets as a vector to metal contamination in two sympatric marine species
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined the inflammatory response of human macrophage cell lines exposed to polystyrene microplastics of varying sizes, finding that smaller particles elicited stronger pro-inflammatory cytokine responses than larger equivalents. The size-dependent inflammatory mechanism involved particle internalization via phagocytosis with subsequent lysosomal destabilization and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
Microplastic Impacts in Fisheries and Aquaculture
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed a decade of evidence on microplastic uptake in commercially harvested fish and aquaculture species, assessing contamination levels, biological impacts, and the implications for food safety as seafood consumption continues to be a major human exposure pathway.
Microplastic Impacts in Fisheries and Aquaculture
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed evidence that fish and seafood destined for human consumption are ingesting microplastics, documenting the breadth of contamination across commercially important species and what it means for the safety of seafood that billions of people eat regularly.
Microplastic in fish – A global synthesis
AI summary Read the abstract
A global synthesis of microplastic ingestion data from marine, freshwater, and estuarine fish found that 49% of sampled fish worldwide had ingested plastic, averaging 3.5 pieces per fish, with freshwater fish and those from aquaculture sources showing higher ingestion rates than wild marine fish. This comprehensive analysis reveals that microplastic contamination of fish — a primary human protein source globally — is now the rule rather than the exception, underscoring urgent risks to food safety.
Occurrence, bioaccumulation and ecological risk of aquaculture-derived microplastics in coastal waters
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination from aquaculture activities and found that fishing nets, foam buoys, and plastic packaging release large quantities of particles into coastal waters, with aquaculture-derived microplastics accounting for up to 99% of total microplastics at some sites. Cultured seafood consistently showed higher microplastic burdens than wild shellfish, highlighting aquaculture as a major but underestimated pollution source.
