TLDR
This study is the first to show 'natural' trophic transfer of microplastic, and its translocation to haemolymph and tissues of a crab, and has implications for the health of marine organisms, the wider food web and humans.About:

TL;DR: It is indicated that MPs were ubiquitous and high in commercially sold fishes in major public wet markets of Cebu Island, Philippines and Chanos chanos proved to be the most susceptible fish to MP ingestion.
Microplastic Contaminations in Buffet Food from Local Markets
TL;DR: In this article, the contamination of microplastics in buffet food at three fresh markets was investigated, and the highest contamination 16 pieces/5g of tissue (wet weight) from mussel and fish tofu samples.

TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of microplastic in aquatic organisms affect its biological ingestion process causing clogging and indigestion and in adverse condition hinder the biological processes resulting in toxicity, immune dysfunction, reproductive abnormalities, alteration of behaviors and feeding habit, and finally death.

Boat paint and epoxy fragments - Leading contributors of microplastic pollution in surface waters of a protected Andaman bay.
Mahima Jaini,Naveen Namboothri +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a microplastic survey within a year-long meroplankton study in the protected bay of the Lohabarrack salt water crocodile sanctuary, that lies on the less populated west coast of South Andaman Island, was conducted.

TL;DR: It is shown that microscopic plastic fragments and fibers are also widespread in the marine environment and may persist for centuries.

TL;DR: Model calculations and experimental observations consistently show that polyethylene accumulates more organic contaminants than other plastics such as polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride, and PCBs could transfer from contaminated plastics to streaked shearwater chicks.

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.

Synthetic polymers in the marine environment: A rapidly increasing, long-term threat
TL;DR: Marine plastic debris is divided into two categories: macro, >5 mm and micro, <5 mm, which provide potential danger to marine ecosystems from the accumulation of plastic debris on the sea floor and the potential bioavailability of compounds added to plastics at the time of manufacture, as well as those adsorbed from the environment.

TL;DR: Field adsorption experiments using PP virgin pellets demonstrated significant and steady increase in PCBs and DDE concentrations throughout the six-day experiment, indicating that the source of PCBs, DDE, and nonylphenols is ambient seawater and that adsor adaptation to pellet surfaces is the mechanism of enrichment.
