Microplastics in water, feed and tissues of European seabass reared in a recirculation aquaculture system (RAS).

Plastic particles (PLs) are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems, and aquaculture production is susceptible to contamination from external or endogenous sources. This study investigated PL presence in water, fish feed and body sites of 55 European seabass produced in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). Fish morphometric parameters and health status biomarkers were determined.
