Microplastic (MP) ingestion, along with accumulated plasticizers such as bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol S (BPS), and phthalates represented by diethyl phthalate (DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), were quantified in bivalves, fish, and holothurians collected from a coastal pristine area at the western Mediterranean Sea. MP ingestion in sediment-feeders holothurians (mean value 12.67 ± 7.

In this study we evaluated the impact of MPs intake in the commercial fish, Sparus aurata, from aquaculture facilities and the antioxidant response associated to this MPs ingestion in caged specimens for 120 days.

Article Synopsis
- Plastic production is a big problem, and it's also being used a lot in aquaculture, which is farming fish and shellfish.
- Researchers studied mussels in different locations to see how much plastic and chemicals they were eating, like BPA and phthalates.
- They found that mussels ate more plastic over time, especially BPA, and showed signs of stress and less ability to detoxify these chemicals, especially near aquaculture facilities.
