Article Synopsis
- Microplastics (MPs) in aquaculture pose risks to fish health and seafood safety, especially in earthen pond environments prone to contamination.
- A study analyzed European seabass exposed to varying MP levels, distinguishing fish with ≤2 MP/g from those with ≥4 MP/g in their bodies.
- While significant changes in fish health metrics were not observed, a notable increase in acid goblet cells in the rectum of fish with higher MP levels suggests a potential adaptive response to protect the intestinal lining, indicating the need for further research on the implications of MPs on fish health.
