The wide presence of microplastics (MPs) in the ocean leads their exposure on marine fish. MP contamination was reported for the gastrointestinal tracts and gills of 117 marine fishes attributed to nine species from Xiamen Bay, a special economic zone in China. Among species, MP abundance ranged from 1.07 items individual to 8.00 items individual . Fibers dominated MP shapes, accounting for 59.03% of all MPs. Polymer composition was dominated by polyamide (26.97%) and rayon (17.56%). MPs were most commonly (55.22%) transparent, and most (77.61%) were < 1 mm in size. Our report represents the first of MP contamination in wild marine fish from Xiamen Bay, which we determine to be at an intermediate to slightly higher level compared with levels reported elsewhere, and provides further insights into potential risks of MPs pose to fish and human health.
海洋中广泛存在的微塑料(MPs)导致它们会暴露在海洋鱼类身上。据报道,在中国经济特区厦门湾的 9 个物种的 117 种海洋鱼类的胃肠道和鳃部中存在 MP 污染。在这些物种中,MP 的丰度范围从每个个体 1.07 个到 8.00 个不等。纤维主导着 MP 的形状,占所有 MPs 的 59.03%。聚合物组成主要由聚酰胺(26.97%)和人造丝(17.56%)组成。MP 最常见的是(55.22%)透明的,大多数(77.61%)尺寸小于 1 毫米。我们的报告代表了厦门湾野生海洋鱼类中首次发现 MP 污染,与其他地方报道的水平相比,我们认为这里的污染处于中等偏高水平,并进一步了解 MPs 对鱼类和人类健康构成的潜在风险。
