TLDR
Compared with non-contact shading effect, interactions between microplastic and microalage such as adsorption and aggregation were more reasonable explanations for toxic effects of microplastics on marine microalgae.About:

In vitro toxicity from a physical perspective of polyethylene microplastics based on statistical curvature change analysis
Daheui Choi,Jangsun Hwang,Junah Bang,Seora Han,Taeho Kim,Yoogyeong Oh,Youngdeok Hwang,Jonghoon Choi,Jinkee Hong +8 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed by statistical analysis that irregular-shape plastics with sharp edges and higher curvature differences may adversely affect cells, further having possibility to human toxicity in real environment.

Size Matters: Ingestion of Relatively Large Microplastics Contaminated with Environmental Pollutants Posed Little Risk for Fish Health and Fillet Quality
TL;DR: Apart from small effect on redness loss in fillets of fish exposed to PS MPs, the ingestion of relatively high doses of these PS MPs did not affect lipid peroxidation or rancid odor development, thus did not affected fillet's quality.

Effects of microplastics on growth, phenanthrene stress, and lipid accumulation in a diatom, Phaeodactylum tricornutum.
Yahong Guo,Wei Ma,Jiji Li,Wei Liu,Pengzhi Qi,Yingying Ye,Baoying Guo,Zhang Jianshe,Chengkai Qu +8 more
TL;DR: MP size is the most critical factor that should be considered in future laboratory tests and eco-toxicological risk assessments for microalgae, and could have led to the lower levels of toxicity in a combined MP-Phe exposure system.

Studies of marine planktonic diatoms: i. cyclotella nana hustedt, and detonula confervacea (cleve) gran.
TL;DR: Bacteria-free clones of the small centric diatom Cyclotella nana Hustedt were isolated, three from estuarine localities, one from Continental Shelf waters, and one from the Sargasso Sea as mentioned in this paper.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pollution of the marine environment by plastic debris: a review.
TL;DR: The deleterious effects of plastic debris on the marine environment were reviewed by bringing together most of the literature published so far on the topic, and a variety of approaches are urgently required to mitigate the problem.

Accumulation of Microplastic on Shorelines Woldwide: Sources and Sinks
Mark Anthony Browne,Mark Anthony Browne,Mark Anthony Browne,Phillip Crump,S. J. Niven,Emma L. Teuten,Andrew Tonkin,Tamara S. Galloway,Richard C. Thompson +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that microplastic contaminates the shorelines at 18 sites worldwide representing six continents from the poles to the equator, with more material in densely populated areas, but no clear relationship between the abundance of miocroplastics and the mean size-distribution of natural particulates.
