• Plastic marine debris: Sources, distribution and impacts on coastal and ocean biodiversity (2016, background): “Microplastics resemble phytoplanktons, which are eaten by fish and cetaceans (Boerger et al., 2010).”
• Microplastic fragments and microbeads in digestive tracts of planktivorous fish from urban coastal waters (2016, positive): “The predominance of fragments has been also observed in fish from the North Pacific Central Gyre 21 and in fish at a market in Indonesia 24 .”
• The complex interaction between marine debris and toxic chemicals in the ocean. (2012, background): “Filter feeders, deposit feeders, and small fi sh all ingest plastic 23,31,33,91,92 and, to the extent that that plastic is tainted with PBTs, may increase their body burden of PBTs relative to directly absorbing the PBTs from the water column (bioconcentration) or their natural diet…”
• Microplastics in the Marine Environment: Distribution, Interactions and Effects (2015, background): “Similarly, Boerger et al. (2010) recorded microplastics in 35 % planktivorous fish examined from the NPCG (94 % of which were plastic fragments).”
• Ingestion of Microplastics by Zooplankton in the Northeast Pacific Ocean (2015, background): “Several studies of the North Pacific Gyre report microplastic in \1–58 % of stomach samples from [27 species of fish (Boerger et al. 2010; Choy and Drazen 2013; Davison and Asch 2011).”
• Microplastic contamination in brown shrimp (Crangon crangon, Linnaeus 1758) from coastal waters of the Southern North Sea and Channel area. (2015, background): “The concept of a preferable ingestion of microplastics, based for example on the colors of plastic and consequently the food/prey resemblance is still controversial between researchers, but could here be the reason for higher uptake (e.g. Kawamura et al., 2010; Boerger et al., 2010; Schuyler et al.,”
• Plastic debris in the open ocean (2014, background): “The reported incidence of plastic in stomachs of epipelagic zooplanktivorous fish ranges from 1 to 29% (30, 31), and in stomachs of small mesopelagic fish from 9 to 35% (10, 32).”
• Occurrence and effects of plastic additives on marine environments and organisms: A review. (2017, background): “…et al., 2016; Van Cauwenberghe and Janssen, 2014; Van Cauwenberghe et al., 2015) and by organisms from higher trophic levels such as fish (Boerger et al., 2010; Carpenter et al., 1972; Dantas et al., 2012; Foekema et al., 2013; Lusher et al., 2013; Neves et al., 2015; Possatto et al.,…”
• Microplastics in seafood: Benchmark protocol for their extraction and characterization. (2016, background): “72 Studies of fish have found between 2% to 40% of individuals to be contaminated, with a mean number 73 of particles from 1 to 7.2 per individual (Boerger et al., 2010; Foekema et al., 2013; Lusher et al., 2013).”
• Plastics and microplastics in the oceans: From emerging pollutants to emerged threat. (2017, background): “More recent evidences reported microplastic (fibers, fragments and films) in mesopelagic fish from the North Pacific Central Gyre (Boerger et al., 2010; Davison and Asch, 2011; Choy and Drazen, 2013), and in estuarine fish which are subjected to high riverine input (Possatto et al., 2011; Dantas et…”
