Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring microplastic ingestion by three deep-water elasmobranch species: A case study from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Tommaso Valente,Alice Sbrana,Umberto Scacco,Carlo Jacomini,Jessica Bianchi,Luca Palazzo,Giuseppe Andrea de Lucia,Cecilia Silvestri,Marco Matiddi +8 more
TL;DR: This study shows that all the three examined elasmobranch species can give important information even with relatively small sample sizes, and they could be used as target species for monitoring micro-litter ingestion in deep-water habitats, following the MSFD requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial variability and influence of biological parameters on microplastic ingestion by Boops boops (L.) along the Italian coasts (Western Mediterranean Sea).
Alice Sbrana,Tommaso Valente,Umberto Scacco,Jessica Bianchi,Cecilia Silvestri,Luca Palazzo,Giuseppe Andrea de Lucia,Claudio Valerani,Giandomenico Ardizzone,Marco Matiddi +9 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first report of microplastic ingestion by B. boops from the Tyrrhenian and the Ligurian Seas (Western Mediterranean Sea) and confirms that this species is able to highlight differences in the ingestion ofmicroplastics according to local anthropization, resulting Latium region to be the most polluted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Boops boops (osteichthyes) to assess microplastic ingestion in the Mediterranean Sea.
Catherine Tsangaris,Nikoletta Digka,Tommaso Valente,Alex Aguilar,Asunción Borrell,Giuseppe Andrea de Lucia,Delphine Gambaiani,Odei Garcia-Garin,Helen Kaberi,Jessica Martin,Elena Mauriño,Claude Miaud,Luca Palazzo,Ana Pérez-del Olmo,Juan Antonio Raga,Alice Sbrana,Cecilia Silvestri,Ester Skylaki,Morgana Vighi,Paprapach Wongdontree,Marco Matiddi +20 more
TL;DR: The findings further support the suitability of B. boops as bioindicator of microplastic pollution in the Mediterranean Sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food preference determines the best suitable digestion protocol for analysing microplastic ingestion by fish
Jessica Bianchi,Tommaso Valente,Umberto Scacco,Roberta Cimmaruta,Alice Sbrana,Cecilia Silvestri,Marco Matiddi +6 more
TL;DR: This study compared efficiencies of two common procedures applied for the digestion of organic matter with a new proposal and showed that the trophic level and feeding habits should be considered for protocol selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Little samplers, big fleet: eDNA metabarcoding from commercial trawlers enhances ocean monitoring
Giulia Maiello,Lorenzo Talarico,Paolo Carpentieri,Flavio De Angelis,Simone Franceschini,Lynsey R. Harper,Erika F. Neave,Olga Rickards,Alice Sbrana,Peter Shum,Virginia Veltre,Stefano Mariani,Tommaso Russo +12 more
TL;DR: In this article , a custom-made rolls of gauze tied to a hollow perforated spherical probe (metaprobe) that placed inside the fishing net aims to gather traces of genetic material from the surrounding environment is used to collect eDNA on board of bottom trawl fishing vessels.
