Abstract

This review provides an account of fish species contaminated with microplastics (MPs) across the globe (seven continents). A total of 887 fish species were found contaminated with MPs based on MPs in the gastrointestinal tract/GI. The most MPs contaminated-fish species found were marine and demersal species. Globally 45 % of fish ingested MPs with an average concentration of 5.93 MPs particles per fish species. Among all the countries, China had the highest number of fish species contaminated with MPs in the followingorders: China (176 species), Brazil (84), the USA (48), India (35), the Atlantic Ocean (31), Iran (30), Bangladesh (28), Turkey (26), Indonesia (25), the UK (23), Saudi Arabia (23), Thailand (21), Portugal (20), Australia (20), Italy (18), South Africa (18), Argentina (15), Chile (14), Galapagos Islands (Ecuador) (14), the North Pacific Gyre (14), Samoa (13), Malaysia (12), Colombia (11), New Zealand (11), Fiji (10), Spain (10), the North Sea (09), South Korea (09), Tahiti (09), Vanuatu (09), Ghana (08), Canada (07), Japan (07) and Nigeria (07) and others. MPs ingestion in fishes varied (high, medium, and low) among the locations/countries. In several locations/countries, MPs ingestion/contamination occurred in up to 100 % of fish samples. Because of MPs contamination, seafood fisheries, and the livelihoods of people associated with fishing, aquaculture, and seafood business, can be threatened. It may also increase health risks to seafood fish consumers since there is a probability that high risks pollutants adsorbed in MPs can be transferred to humans via the food chain.

鱼类中微塑料存在的全球综述与分析

本文综述了全球(七大洲)受微塑料污染的鱼类。基于对胃肠道MPs的分析，共发现887种鱼类被MPs污染。受MPs污染最多的鱼类是海洋和底栖鱼类。在全球范围内，45%的鱼类摄入多磺酸盐，每种鱼的平均浓度为5.93个多磺酸盐颗粒。在所有国家中，中国被MPs污染的鱼类数量最多，其顺序如下:中国(176种)、巴西(84种)、美国(48种)、印度(35种)、大西洋(31种)、伊朗(30种)、孟加拉国(28种)、土耳其(26种)、印度尼西亚(25种)、英国(23种)、沙特阿拉伯(23种)、泰国(21种)、葡萄牙(20种)、澳大利亚(20种)、意大利(18种)、南非(18种)、阿根廷(15种)、智利(14种)、加拉帕戈斯群岛(厄瓜多尔)(14种)、北太平洋海圈(14种)、萨摩亚(13种)、马来西亚(12种)、哥伦比亚(11种)、新西兰(11种)、斐济(10种)、西班牙(10种)、北海(09种)、韩国(09种)、塔希提岛(09种)、瓦努阿图(09种)、加纳(08年)、加拿大(07年)、日本(07年)和尼日利亚(07年)等。鱼类的多磺酸粘多糖摄取量因地点/国家而异(高、中、低)。在一些地点/国家，高达100%的鱼类样本中发生了MPs摄入/污染。由于MPs污染，海产品渔业以及与捕鱼、水产养殖和海产品业务相关的人们的生计可能受到威胁。它还可能增加海产品消费者的健康风险，因为MPs中吸附的高风险污染物有可能通过食物链转移给人类。
