TLDR
The presence of MPs in the livers of commercial zooplanktivorous fishes collected in the field is investigated and two translocation pathways are hypothesized: (i) large particles found in the liver resulted from the agglomeration of smaller pieces, and/or they simply pass through the intestinal barrier.About:

TL;DR: The findings show that the total concentration of plastic is highly variable among species and that microplastic concentration differs between organisms of the same species.

Microplastics in fish and fishmeal: an emerging environmental challenge?
Christina J Thiele,Malcolm D. Hudson,Andrea E. Russell,Marilin Saluveer,Marilin Saluveer,Giovanna Sidaoui-Haddad +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the existing literature for studies of microplastics in fishmeal-relevant species and concluded that over 300 million microplastic particles (mostly < 1 mm) could be released annually to the oceans through marine aquaculture alone.

Dietary administration of PVC and PE microplastics produces histological damage, oxidative stress and immunoregulation in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.)
TL;DR: The results suggest that the short-medium term intake of PVC- or PE-MPs by fish slightly depresses their immunity and produces oxidative stress, and it seems that longer exposure times might lead to irreversible damage that could compromise fish health and welfare.

Between source and sea: The role of wastewater treatment in reducing marine microplastics.
Shirra Freeman,Andy M. Booth,Isam Sabbah,Rachel Tiller,Jan Dierking,Katja Klun,Ana Rotter,Eric Ben-David,Jamileh Javidpour,Dror L. Angel +9 more
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge regarding MPs, wastewater and relevant policies that could influence the development and deployment of new technologies within WWTPs are described and existing technologies for capturing very small MP particles are reviewed.

TL;DR: Plastic was found in fish species across four SP locations and in prey, which confirms the trophic transfer of microplastics, and Rapa Nui fish exhibited the greatest IR, significantly greater than in other three locations.

Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation and fragmentation of plastic debris in global environments.
TL;DR: Global plastics production and the accumulation of plastic waste are documented, showing that trends in mega- and macro-plastic accumulation rates are no longer uniformly increasing and that the average size of plastic particles in the environment seems to be decreasing.

TL;DR: Using data from the Malaspina 2010 circumnavigation, regional surveys, and previously published reports, this work shows a worldwide distribution of plastic on the surface of the open ocean, mostly accumulating in the convergence zones of each of the five subtropical gyres with comparable density.

Microplastic Ingestion by Zooplankton
Matthew Cole,P. Lindeque,Elaine S. Fileman,Claudia Halsband,Rhys M. Goodhead,Julian Moger,Tamara S. Galloway +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that microplastics are ingested by, and may impact upon, zooplankton, and imply that marine microplastic debris can negatively impact upon zoopLankton function and health.

Ingested Microscopic Plastic Translocates to the Circulatory System of the Mussel,Mytilus edulis(L.)
Mark Anthony Browne,Awantha Dissanayake,Tamara S. Galloway,David M. Lowe,Richard C. Thompson +4 more
TL;DR: The data indicate as plastic fragments into smaller particles, the potential for accumulation in the tissues of an organism increases and further work using a wider range of organisms, polymers, and periods of exposure will be required to establish the biological consequences of this debris.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of microplastics in the gastrointestinal tract of pelagic and demersal fish from the English Channel.
TL;DR: Microplastic ingestion appears to be common, in relatively small quantities, across a range of fish species irrespective of feeding habitat, and further work is needed to establish the potential consequences.
