ABSTRACT Growing global concern surrounds microplastics, found in various environments. However, data on microplastics contamination salted shrimp and associated health risks remain scarce. We analyzed whether shrimps sold markets a main city Amazonas state (Brazil), are contaminated with microplastics. examined 150 specimens of Macrobrachium amazonicum 396 potential 129 individuals (86%). The number particles per gram body mass was highest the gastrointestinal tract, 60% them ranging size from 1,000 to 5,000 µm, predominantly dark blue fibers (80%). likely originates environment salt used during processing region where captured. Our findings point risk many consumers Amazon region.

We use the sentinel mangrove crab, Minuca rapax, as a model to investigate effects of metallic settleable particulate matter (SePM) on wetland. Multiple levels energetic responses, including (i) metabolic rate and energy budget, (ii) oxidative stress, (iii) behavioral response by righting time, were assessed well metal metalloid content in crabs exposed 0, 0.1 1 g.L

We investigated the distribution and effects of waterborne microplastic (MP) (polyethylene microspheres, 53–63 um) on emergent model for ecotoxicology, amphipod Parhyale hawaiensis, during 30 days exposure. The following life-history traits were measured: (1) survival, (2) specific growth rate (SGR), (3) reproductive performance (precopulatory pairing behavior, fecundity, time to release neonates), (4) molting frequency, (5) F1 newborn offspring survival (6) MP bioaccumulation. No significant mortality or molt was seen in any treatments. caused a reduction SGR, being more pronounced females. precopulatory 3-fold longer amphipods exposed MP. Fecundity decreased by 50 %, juveniles 6.7 Finally, neonate 80 % after ten release. disrupts mechanisms triggers adverse life history P. hawaiensis.
