Plastic Litter Pollution in the Marine Environment.

Journal of the Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan, 1999
The distribution and abundance of plastic litter, especially resin pellets, were investigated. Resin pellets are widespread in the coastal waters and beaches of Japan. Such pellets that are the raw materials of plastic products are important marine pollutants for many species of marine life such as ingestion by seabirds and fishes.

Multirobot Aerial Soft Manipulator for Floating Litter Collection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multirobot aerial manipulator enables autonomous floating litter collection by controlling the shape of a flexible rope equipped with a hook‐based tool. Adaptive rope‐shape planning enhances grasping performance while reducing tension, demonstrating the potential of aerial robots for floating litter removal. Removing floating litter from water bodies

Tracking Marine Litter With a Global Ocean Model: Where Does It Go? Where Does It Come From?

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Plastic is the most abundant type of marine litter and it is found in all of the world’s oceans and seas, even in remote areas far from human activities. It is a major concern because plastics remain in the oceans for a long time.

Exopolysaccharides directed embellishment of diatoms triggered on plastics and other marine litter [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractIn the present study, embellishment or beautification of diatoms on substrates like plastics, polydimethylsiloxane, graphite, glass plate, and titanium dioxide, triggered by exopolysaccharides was examined under laboratory conditions. Exopolysaccharides are secreted mainly by primary colonisers, bacteria, which is succeeded by secondary ...

How developmental stressors affect mitochondrial respiratory function: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The environmental conditions organisms experience during early development can have powerful and sustained effects on morphology, physiology, behaviour, and performance. Such developmental effects can influence reproductive success, survival, and life‐history strategies and can be transmitted across generations (i.e.
