What goes in, must come out:combining scat-based molecular diet analysis and quantification of ingested microplastics in a marine top predator [PDF]
, 2019 Context: Microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm in size) are highly available for ingestion by a wide range of organisms, either through direct consumption or indirectly, via trophic transfer, from prey to predator.

The distribution of subsurface microplastics in the ocean
NatureMarine plastic pollution is a global issue, with microplastics (1 µm–5 mm) dominating the measured plastic count1,2. Although microplastics can be found throughout the oceanic water column3,4, most studies collect microplastics from surface waters (less ...
