Mussels And Microplastics. Mussels, oysters and scallops have the highest levels of microplastic contamination among seafood, a new study reveals. At the plymouth marine laboratory, professor penelope lindeque and her team are looking into the ability of mussels to filter microplastics from water. Computer modelling suggests mussels could one day be responsible for filtering 25 per cent of microplastics in the water that surrounds them. Using mussels hand gathered from a nearby estuary, the scientists confirmed that dense mussel feces, including those with microplastics, sink rapidly in seawater. In total, the mollusks gathered about 25 percent of the microplastics in the water (nearly 250,000 pieces each hour). In the laboratory, mussels were exposed to representative microplastics in a flume tank; An experiment by plymouth marine laboratory explored a trial that put 300 mussels in a flow tank and fed them phytoplankton and microplastics. The fight against plastic pollution has a new and unexpected inspiration — mussels. Microplastics and nanoplastics are present in the tissues of farmed mussels from the apulian region, italy, according to quantification.
