Effects of virgin microplastics on goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Microplastics (MPs) are abundant in freshwater and marine environments. They are diverse
shape and size and are ingested by organisms. In this study, goldfish (Carassius auratus) …

Virgin microplastics are not causing imminent harm to fish after dietary exposure
Among aquatic organisms, fish are particularly susceptible to ingesting microplastic particles
due to their attractive coloration, buoyancy, and resemblance to food. However, in previous …
