Effects of microplastics and attached heavy metals on growth, immunity, and heavy metal accumulation in the yellow seahorse, Hippocampus kuda Bleeker

The combined effects of plastic particles and their associated heavy metal contaminants were more harmful than either stressor alone in this commercially important marine species.
