[ 1 ] - Investigation 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...
[ 2 ] - Assessment of microplastics in the gastrointestinal tract of some fish caught for human consumption in Bandar Abbas, the Persian Gulf
Background and Objective: Microplastics (MPs) are well-known emerging contaminants in the marine environment. A key route by which MPs can directly affect marine life is through ingestion. Materials and Methods: In order to investigate and measure MPs in the Persian Gulf, random sampling and digestion of tissues and flotation of MPs were used. This method has been used to study the frequency, ...
