A comparative analysis of microplastic contamination in hermit crab Clibanarius rhabdodactylus Forest, 1953, inhabiting intertidal and subtidal Coastal habitat of Gujarat state. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMicroplastics (MPs) contamination has increased significantly due to inadequate plastic waste, leading to MPs infiltration in marine organisms. Crustaceans, especially the anomuran crabs, represented significant benthic communities in the intertidal zone.
