RETRACTED: Assessment of polystyrene microplastics as dietary additives in aquaculture species, Catla catla: Alters growth, feed utilization, nutritional composition, hematology and gut histopathology

AI summary Read the abstract

Note: This paper has been retracted. It reported that feeding polystyrene microplastics to a freshwater fish species reduced growth, nutritional quality, and caused gut damage in a dose-dependent manner. While the specific findings should be treated with caution due to the retraction, the general concern about microplastics accumulating in aquaculture fish and affecting their nutritional value and safety for human consumption remains supported by other research.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: An assessment of physiological and health responses in Catla catla fingerlings after polystyrene microplastic exposure

AI summary Read the abstract

Note: This article has been retracted. The study reported that feeding polystyrene microplastics to Catla catla fish reduced growth, impaired blood health, decreased nutritional quality, and caused intestinal damage. Higher concentrations of microplastics led to worse outcomes across all measures. While the retraction means these specific results should be viewed with caution, the general concern about microplastic effects on farmed fish remains supported by other research.

Retraction Note: An assessment of physiological and health responses in Catla catla fingerlings after polystyrene microplastic exposure

AI summary Read the abstract

This is a retraction notice for a study on polystyrene microplastic exposure in Catla catla fish, withdrawn after data irregularities were identified, including figures that appeared to be reused from other papers representing different conditions or species. The retraction underscores the importance of data integrity in microplastics research, where replication and accuracy are critical.
