Antarctica has traditionally been viewed as a relatively isolated ecosystem. Although still considered pristine, it is increasingly also being affected by microplastic pollution. Reported high sea floor concentrations raise concern that these ecosystems might act major sink for This significant species in those remote are likely more sensitive to rapid environmental change due level of specialization, and lower tolerance levels. Microplastic ingestion fish barely assessed latitude environments. Here we aimed provide baseline data the eastern Weddell Sea, which particularly remote, suggested an area conservation. By analyzing gastrointestinal tracts 40 specimens from five species, report overall incidence rate 0.23. than recent studies have found other Southern Ocean, below global means. The highest was detected L. squamifrons (0.67), followed P. evansii (0.29). most common polymer polyethylene recovered 8 particles (42.1 %) one specimen, while remaining 11 microplastics polyester (36.8 %). study shows even region Antarctic Ocean with almost no vessel traffic, fisheries or touristic activity, bathydemersal bathypelagic exhibit their tract.

Abstract Human activity has led to microplastic contamination throughout the marine environment. As a result of widespread contamination, microplastics are ingested by many species wildlife, including fish, cephalopods, and shellfish. Taiwan is surrounded oceans that offer rich range seafood. Taiwanese residents can easily acquire seafood as source dietary protein. A recent research project Greenpeace shows eat 16,000 particles per year. There concern regarding physical chemical toxicity, which poses potential health risks local community via food chains. Thus, monitoring in imperative provide helpful information for government communities. Efforts should be taken reduce pollution at minimize effects on ecological safety.
