Marine ecosystem contamination by microplastics is extensively documented. However few data is available on the contamination of continental water bodies and associated fauna. The aim of this study was to address the occurrence of microplastics in digestive tract of gudgeons (Gobio gobio) from French rivers. These investigations confirm that continental fish ingested microplastics while 12% of collected fish are contaminated by these small particles. Further works are needed to evaluate the occurence of this contamination.
海洋生态系统受微塑料污染的情况已有大量记录。然而,关于大陆水体和相关动物区系的污染情况,数据却很少。本研究的目的是调查法国河流中泥鳅(Gobio gobio)消化道中微塑料的存在情况。这些调查结果证实,大陆鱼类摄入了微塑料,而收集到的鱼类中有 12%受到这些小颗粒的污染。需要进一步研究来评估这种污染的发生情况。
