Fish With Plastic In Stomach at Wilbur Pritt blog

Fish With Plastic In Stomach. Fish and crustaceans in the deep gulf of mexico eat more microplastics as they live deeper, where plastic particles rain down from. The fibres are most likely to have come from washing. Our research showed that fishes such as sharks, grouper and tuna that hunt other fishes or marine organisms as food were more likely to ingest plastic. The work also reveals emerging trends about why certain species are at higher risk. Stanford ecologists have conducted one of the most detailed and comprehensive analyses of plastic ingestion by marine fish and shown that the rate of consumption is increasing. We found that when the plastic interacts with the juices in the [fish's] stomach, the chemicals come off of plastic and are transferred into the bloodstream or tissue. This study presents the first definitive confirmation of microplastic presence in the human stomach, based on samples from 26. Plastics — when they end up in the ocean — are a sponge for chemicals already out there, says rochman.
