Microplastic contamination in brown shrimp (Crangon crangon, Linnaeus 1758) from coastal waters of the Southern North Sea and Channel area. (2015, background): “However, fibrous microplastics have been less studied in laboratory trials so far and therefore it is unclear whether residence time of these particles is comparable to that of spheres (Watts et al., 2014).”
Microplastics in mussels along the coastal waters of China. (2016, background): “Mussels are the most common benthic species used for studying the fate and toxic effects of microplastics in laboratory (Browne et al., 2008; von Moos et al., 2012; Farrell and Nelson, 2013; Watts et al., 2014; Avio et al., 2015).”
Microplastics in fisheries and aquaculture (2017, background): “Green crabs (Carcinus maenas) can also uptake microplastics across the gills during ventilation (Watts et al., 2014).”

Ingestion of Microplastics by Zooplankton in the Northeast Pacific Ocean (2015, background): “…of marine invertebrates including copepods and euphausiids (Cole et al. 2013; Farrell and Nelson 2013; Graham and Thompson 2009; Hamer et al. 2014; Kaposi et al. 2014; Lee et al. 2013; Murray and Cowie 2011; Setälä et al. 2014; Thompson et al. 2004; Watts et al. 2014; Wright et al. 2013b).”
