Summary

Researchers documented plastic ingestion by longnose lancetfish (Alepisaurus ferox) caught in Hawaii-based longline fisheries, using stomach content analysis across hundreds of individuals. The study found plastics in a substantial proportion of fish, contributing to understanding of how open-ocean predators encounter and ingest floating plastic debris.
