Abstract:
      Studies have found that the concentration of microplastics in aquaculture areas is closely related to factors such as economic conditions, fluid dynamics, and population density. The accumulation of microplastics in fish follows this order:digestive tract, gills>liver, brain>muscle. The primary forms of microplastics in the intestine, gills, and liver are fibers, fragments, and fine particles. Fish with a swallowing feeding behavior have higher microplastic concentrations than filter-feeding species, omnivorous fish accumulate more than herbivorous/carnivorous fish, and benthic fish have higher microplastic levels compared to pelagic fish. The study provides insights into the future of microplastic research in aquaculture.
