Microplastic pollution and thermal increase alter cellular stress responses and microbiomes in Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic fish.

AI summary

This study investigated microplastic contamination in fish species from North Aceh, Indonesia, documenting plastic particle ingestion in commercially important local fish. The findings contribute to regional data on microplastic transfer through Indonesian coastal food webs.

The Immune System in Antarctic and Subantarctic Fish of the Genus Harpagifer Is Affected by the Effects of Combined Microplastics and Thermal Increase

AI summary Read the abstract

This study examined how rising ocean temperatures and microplastic exposure affect the immune systems of Antarctic and subantarctic fish of the genus Harpagifer, which are particularly vulnerable due to their ecological specialization. Combined climate and MP stress altered immune gene expression, suggesting these fish face compounding threats from global change.

Multi-omics analysis reveals polyethylene microplastics-induced gill damage, metabolic disruption and immune dysregulation in Lateolabrax maculatus

AI summary

Researchers exposed spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) to dietary polyethylene microplastics and found that even moderate concentrations caused gill tissue damage, oxidative stress, and immune dysregulation by disrupting energy metabolism and NF-κB inflammatory pathways, with most effects showing partial recovery after a 14-day depuration period.
