Summary

This study investigated how Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) respond to microplastic ingestion with varying particle sizes, examining histopathological changes and oxidative stress indicators in tissues. The findings reveal that microplastic exposure causes tissue-level damage and oxidative stress in commercially important shellfish, with implications for seafood safety.
