Journal ArticleDOI
Ingestion of microplastics by demersal fish from the Spanish Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts
Juan Bellas,José Martínez-Armental,Ariana Martínez-Cámara,Victoria Besada,Concepción Martínez-Gómez +4 more
TL;DR: The data presented here represent a baseline for the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive descriptor 10 in Spain and may be as well suitable candidates for monitoring spatial and temporal trends of ingested litter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative toxicity of alternative antifouling biocides on embryos and larvae of marine invertebrates
TL;DR: The data support that chlorothalonil, Sea-Nine 211 and dichlofluanid predicted levels in marinas represent a threat to M. edulis, P. lividus, and C. intestinalis populations, whilst Irgarol 1051 showed no toxic effects on the biological responses tested here at worst-case environmental concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of coastal marine pollution in Galicia (NW Iberian Peninsula); metal concentrations in seawater, sediments and mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) versus embryo-larval bioassays using Paracentrotus lividus and Ciona intestinalis.
TL;DR: Sediments from three Galician Rias tested for toxicity using sea-urchin and ascidian sediment elutriate embryo-larval bioassays revealed that samples assessed as toxic were among the most polluted by trace metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of organic compounds to marine invertebrate embryos and larvae: a comparison between the sea urchin embryogenesis bioassay and alternative test species.
TL;DR: Decapod larvae, as expected, were markedly more sensitive to the insecticides than sea urchins and ascidians, and SDS was the least toxic compound tested for these organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ingestion and contact with polyethylene microplastics does not cause acute toxicity on marine zooplankton.

TL;DR: The results obtained do not support environmentally relevant risk of microplastics on marine zooplankton and the replacement of these polymers in consumer products must be carefully considered.
