Microplastic debris is a prevalent global pollutant that poses a risk to marine organisms and
ecological processes. It is also suspected to pose a risk to marine food security; however …

Microplastics (MPs) are widely distributed and extensively found within marine ecosystems,
and approximately 8 million tons of plastics are being dumped into the sea annually. Once …

Extensive applications of plastic in human life has caused substantial microplastic pollution
in the global environment, which, due to plastic's ubiquitous nature and everlasting …

Plastic production has increased exponentially since the early 1950s and reached 322
million tonnes in 2015, this figure does not include synthetic fibres which accounted for an …

Globally recognized as emergent contaminants, microplastics (MPs) are prevalent in
aquaculture habitats and subject to intense management. Aquaculture systems are at risk of …

Plastic particles< 5 mm in size, microplastics (MPs), are a global environmental
contamination, widely distributed in the environment. Aquaculture environment may have …

Plastic pollution is a global concern, leading to the abundance of macro-and microplastics
(MPs) in the marine environment and subsequent accumulation in many marine organisms …

Abstract According to the statistics, 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastics have been produced
since 1950s, which is far more than other synthetic materials and the annual production …

The prevalence of microplastics in global waters raises the concern about their potential
effects on aquatic biota. In aquatic environment, microplastics are almost ubiquitously …
