Ingestion of prey intensifies microplastic load in Mediterranean commercial fish
We describe the ingestion of plastics by four edible fish species from the Western Mediterranean Sea (Fiumicino, Italy): Micromesistius poutassou, Mullus barbatus, Sardina pilchardus, and Trachurus trachurus. Microparticles smaller than 1 mm, particularly blue fibres made of cellophane, are the most found in terms of size, colour, shape, and polymer. The highest level of contamination was found in Sardina pilchardus and in stomachs containing prey across all species. We have gathered evidence from commercially relevant fishes, of which two can be good bioindicators of microplastics (M. barbatus and T. trachurus), and one is poorly investigated (M. poutassou) in order to contribute to the overall assessments of the MP-induced risks for the Mediterranean ecosystem and human activity.
期刊介绍:
Continental Shelf Research publishes articles dealing with the biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography of the shallow marine environment, from coastal and estuarine waters out to the shelf break. The continental shelf is a critical environment within the land-ocean continuum, and many processes, functions and problems in the continental shelf are driven by terrestrial inputs transported through the rivers and estuaries to the coastal and continental shelf areas. Manuscripts that deal with these topics must make a clear link to the continental shelf. Examples of research areas include:
Physical sedimentology and geomorphology
Geochemistry of the coastal ocean (inorganic and organic)
Marine environment and anthropogenic effects
Interaction of physical dynamics with natural and manmade shoreline features
Benthic, phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology
Coastal water and sediment quality, and ecosystem health
Benthic-pelagic coupling (physical and biogeochemical)
Interactions between physical dynamics (waves, currents, mixing, etc.) and biogeochemical cycles
Estuarine, coastal and shelf sea modelling and process studies.
