Plastic contamination is ubiquitous, with plastic found in hundreds of species of aquatic
wildlife, including fish. Lacking a broad and comprehensive view of this global issue across …

Plastic is pervasive in modern economies and ecosystems. Freshwater fish ingest
microplastics (ie, particles< 5 mm), but no studies have examined historical patterns of their …

Microplastics are contaminants of emerging concern; they are ingested by marine biota.
About a quarter of global marine fish landings is used to produce fishmeal for animal and …

The aquatic environment and the associated fish assemblages are being exposed to an
increasing amount of microplastics. Despite the high number of publications on the …

Microplastic debris is a globally ubiquitous pollutant with diverse consequences for fishes,
ranging from severe negative impacts to neutral, or even, positive effects. In the present …

Plastic pollution has pervaded almost every facet of the biosphere, yet we lack an
understanding of consumption risk by marine species at the global scale. To address this …

Awareness surrounding plastic pollution has increased significantly in the past decade,
leading to concerns on potential adverse effects on biota, including the consumption of …

Microplastics (MPs) are small, plastic particles of various shapes, sizes and polymers.
Although well studied in marine systems, their roles and importance in freshwater …

Plastic pollution, especially microplastics (MP) pollution, is a hot topic in both mainstream
media and scientific literature. Although rivers are potentially the major transport pathway of …

Microplastics pollution is widespread in marine ecosystems and a major threat to
biodiversity. Nevertheless, our knowledge of the impacts of microplastics in freshwater …
