ClearEffects of microplastic exposure on the body condition and behaviour of planktivorous reef fish (Acanthochromis polyacanthus)
Researchers exposed juvenile reef fish to microplastics at various concentrations and found no significant effects on growth, body condition, or behavior when plastic particles were the same size as their food. However, when particle size was reduced to roughly a quarter of the food size, fish ingested dramatically more plastics, and replacing food with plastic harmed their growth. The findings suggest that as plastics fragment into smaller pieces in the ocean, they become increasingly problematic for planktivorous species.
Correction: Comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of microplastic prevalence and abundance in freshwater fish species: the effect of fish species habitat, feeding behavior, and Fulton’s condition factor
This is a correction notice for a previously published meta-analysis on microplastic prevalence in freshwater fish and does not contain new scientific findings.
Correction: Ricciardi et al. Microplastics in the Aquatic Environment: Occurrence, Persistence, Analysis, and Human Exposure. Water 2021, 13, 973
This is a published correction notice for a previously published review article on microplastics in aquatic environments.
Correction: The observation of starch digestion in blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis exposed to microplastic particles under varied food conditions
This paper presents a correction to a previously published study examining starch digestion in blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis exposed to microplastic particles under varied food conditions.
Correction: Novel probiotics adsorbing and excreting microplastics in vivo show potential gut health benefits
This is a published correction notice for a previously published study on probiotics that adsorb and excrete microplastics in living organisms. The correction addresses issues in the original article, which explored the potential gut health benefits of probiotic strains that can bind to microplastic particles. The original research examined the capacity of certain probiotic bacteria to interact with microplastics within the digestive system.
Correction to “Microplastic Human Dietary Uptake from 1990 to 2018 Grew across 109 Major Developing and Industrialized Countries but Can Be Halved by Plastic Debris Removal”
Researchers published a correction to a large modeling study that tracked human dietary microplastic intake across 109 countries from 1990 to 2018, updating the units used for key intake parameters so that results are correctly expressed in kilograms per person per day. The underlying finding — that microplastic ingestion grew over this period but could be significantly reduced by removing plastic debris — remains unchanged.
Correction to Human Consumption of Microplastics
This paper is a published correction to the 2019 study "Human Consumption of Microplastics" by Cox et al., which estimated how many microplastic particles people ingest annually through food, water, and air. The correction updates specific data or calculations in that widely cited paper.
Correction to “Incipient Motion of Exposed Microplastics in an Open-Channel Flow”
This is a correction notice to a previously published research article on the incipient motion of microplastics in open-channel water flow. The correction updates specific values or methods in the original study without changing the overall findings.
Correction: Bioaccumulation of polystyrene nanoplastics and their effect on the toxicity of Au ions in zebrafish embryos
This entry is a published correction to a prior study on the bioaccumulation of polystyrene nanoplastics and their effects on gold ion toxicity in zebrafish embryos.
Correction to “SettlingVelocities of SmallMicroplastic Fragments and Fibers”
This paper provides a published correction to a prior study on settling velocities of small microplastic fragments and fibers, addressing errors in the original data, calculations, or figures to ensure accurate reporting of particle sedimentation behavior relevant to environmental transport modeling.
Correction: Comprehensive investigation on microplastics from source to sink
This correction clarifies that a prior review paper mischaracterized evidence on microplastic gut translocation, replacing the incorrect statement that most spherical microplastics pass through the gut wall with the accurate interpretation of the cited source.
Correction to: No prominent toxicity of polyethylene microplastics observed in neonatal mice following intratracheal instillation to dams during gestational and neonatal period
This is a published correction to an earlier study that found no significant toxicity from polyethylene microplastics in newborn mice exposed through their mothers. The correction addresses a methodological detail in the original paper. The underlying finding — that intratracheal exposure to polyethylene microplastics during pregnancy and nursing caused no prominent toxicity — remains unchanged.
Correction to: Risk-based management framework for microplastics in aquatic ecosystems
Researchers corrected mathematical errors in a previously published risk framework for microplastics in water, recalculating how particle volume and surface area were estimated. The corrected safety threshold values shifted modestly and all fell within the original confidence intervals, so the overall management conclusions remain unchanged despite the calculation fixes.
Data for: McCormick, Chivers, Ferrari, Blandford, Fakan & Allan. Microplastic consumption interacts with habitat degradation to affect behaviour and survival of juvenile fish
This dataset accompanies a study on how coral reef fish respond to microplastics under predicted climate change conditions, including elevated CO2 and temperature. The data supports research on whether environmental stress makes marine organisms more vulnerable to plastic pollution.
Supplementary material from "Microplastic exposure interacts with habitat degradation to affect behaviour and survival of juvenile fish in the field"
This field study exposed juvenile coral reef fish to polystyrene microplastics and then released them onto either healthy or degraded coral reef patches. Fish exposed to microplastics on degraded reefs had significantly higher mortality and altered behavior compared to controls, demonstrating that microplastic exposure and habitat degradation can interact to amplify harm to reef fish in the wild.
Correction: The Minderoo-Monaco Commission on Plastics and Human Health.
This publication issued a correction to the Minderoo-Monaco Commission report on plastics and human health, amending previously published data or conclusions from the comprehensive assessment of plastics' impacts across their full life cycle.
Correction to: Quantitative analysis of PET microplastics in environmental model samples using quantitative 1H-NMR spectroscopy: validation of an optimized and consistent sample clean-up method
This is a published correction to a prior methodology paper on quantifying PET microplastics in environmental samples using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. No new findings are presented.
Ingestion and Depuration of Microplastics by a Planktivorous Coral Reef Fish, Pomacentrus amboinensis
Researchers exposed a coral reef planktivorous fish (Pomacentrus amboinensis) to environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastics and found ingestion in all exposed fish, with most particles cleared within 48 hours of depuration, suggesting rapid gut turnover limits longer-term accumulation under realistic conditions.
Microplastic exposure interacts with habitat degradation to affect behaviour and survival of juvenile fish in the field
Juvenile coral reef fish pulse-fed polystyrene microplastics and then released onto live or degraded coral patches became bolder, more active, and strayed farther from shelter — with microplastic exposure having a larger behavioral effect than habitat degradation — potentially increasing predation risk in the field.
Corrigendum: Plastic biodegradation by in vitro environmental microorganisms and in vivo gut microorganisms of insects
This is a published correction (corrigendum) to an earlier study on plastic biodegradation by environmental microorganisms and insect gut bacteria; it is not a standalone research paper presenting new findings.
