چکیده
Risso’s dolphin Grampus griseus was stranded on the coast of Arsuz-Uluçınar, Iskenderun Bay, Turkey in northeastern Mediterranean 29 March 2022. This study conducted to reveal relationship between G. and microplastic debris Sea. The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) one stranding examined, 454 microplastics particles were extracted. Of all, majority them fibers (96%), black colour (62%), 0.5-1 mm size (38%). paper represents first data indicating abundance from Also, it creates a baseline understand cetaceans this region.

متن کاملInvestigation of microplastic contamination in the gastrointestinal tract of some species of caught fish from Oman Sea
Background and Objective: Marine pollution is growing due to human activities. Continuous increase in plastic production and poor management of plastic waste resulted in a significant increase of this contaminant in aquatic environments. This in turn led to the widespread presence of Microplastics (MPs) with a size of less than 5mm. Materials and Methods: In this study, frequency, distribution...
