Microplastic Ingestion by Fish in a Neotropical Reservoir: Effects of Reservoir Dynamics and Fish Traits

AI summary · Read the abstract

Researchers examined microplastic ingestion by fish communities across different zones of a Neotropical reservoir in Brazil, finding that fish in calmer, lake-like zones and bottom-dwelling insect-eating species were most likely to ingest plastic particles. The study suggests that both reservoir design and fish ecology shape how microplastics move through freshwater food webs.

Physiological Alterations and Immune Modulation in Fish Exposed to Microplastics

AI summary · Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the physiological and immunological effects of microplastic exposure in fish, finding that these particles smaller than 5 mm induce a range of biological disruptions including immune modulation, oxidative stress, and systemic health impacts with broader implications for aquatic ecosystem integrity.

Ingestion of Microplastic by Fish of Different Feeding Habits in Urbanized and Non-urbanized Streams in Southern Brazil

AI summary · Read the abstract

Researchers found that fish in urbanized streams in southern Brazil were significantly more likely to have ingested microplastic fibers than fish in non-urbanized streams, and that omnivorous species faced the highest exposure risk. This highlights how urban development drives microplastic contamination into freshwater food chains long before particles reach the ocean.
