ClearMicroplastic contamination in brown shrimp (Crangon crangon, Linnaeus 1758) from coastal waters of the Southern North Sea and Channel area
Researchers examined brown shrimp caught from the North Sea and found microplastics in their digestive tracts, documenting contamination in a commercially important crustacean consumed widely by humans in northern Europe.
Temporal variation in microplastic abundance in sediment, fish and shrimp: a case study in the Thames Estuary, UK
A two-year seasonal sampling program in the Thames Estuary found high temporal variability in microplastic abundance in sediment and biota, with seasonal patterns suggesting multiple environmental and anthropogenic drivers interact to control microplastic concentrations.
Guiding principles for assessing the impact of underwater noise
This paper presents guiding principles for assessing the impacts of underwater noise on marine life, covering thresholds for physical injury, behavioral disruption, and masking of biologically important sounds. While focused on noise pollution, the principles provide a regulatory framework model relevant to how cumulative stressors including microplastic pollution should be assessed for marine species.
