Estimation of the uptake and gut retention of microplastics in juvenile marine fish: Mummichogs (Fundulus heteroclitus) and red seabreams (Pagrus major)
Abstract
We investigated the impact of microplastics (MPs) on marine fish by estimating the uptake and retention by mummichogs (Fundulus heteroclitus) and red seabreams (Pagrus major) of MPs similar in size (≥0.25 mm) and composition (polyethylene) to MPs detected in fish intestines. Results revealed a correlation between MP concentrations in aquarium water and the content of MPs in the gastrointestinal tracts of exposed fish. More than 95% were excreted from both species within 25 h; this retention time is similar to the processing time of food items. The rate of excretion showed little dependence on MP size, but there was some dependence on fish species and MP shape. These results suggest that MPs similar to those we studied have little direct adverse impact on these two marine fish species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
