Microplastic fibers in the intertidal ecosystem surrounding Halifax Harbor, Nova Scotia. (2014, background): “In the study conducted by Davidson and Asch (2011), small-diameter, brightly colored microplastic fibers were considered to be originating from exterior contamination, as they observed similar looking fibers in empty petri dishes.”
Plastic debris in the open ocean (2014, background): “The turnover time of the plastic contained in mesopelagic fish must vary from 1 y to a single day, depending on whether ingested fragments remain in the fish throughout their complete lifespan or are defecated (32).”
Airborne microplastics: Consequences to human health? (2018, neutral): “They have already been detected in water (Dris et al., 2015; Eriksen et al., 2014; Van Sebille et al., 2015), sediment (Browne et al., 2011; Frias et al., 2016) and several species of organisms (Davidson and Asch, 2011; Foekema et al., 2013; Vandermeersch et al., 2015).”
Microplastics as contaminants in the marine environment: a review. (2011, background): “Plastic fibres, fragments and films were also found in the stomachs of 13 of 141 mesopelagic fish caught in the North Pacific gyre (Davison and Asch, 2011).”
Deleterious Effects of Litter on Marine Life (2015, background): “High abundance of small plastics in myctophid fishes (Boerger et al. 2010; Davison and Asch 2011), in combination with the fact that this type of fish is a common prey for many larger marine predators, suggest that secondary ingestion may be more common than reported.”
Analysis of microplastics in water by micro-Raman spectroscopy: Release of plastic particles from different packaging into mineral water. (2018, background): “53 In addition to the marine microplastics input into our diet by consuming fish and seafood 54 (Cole et al., 2013; Davison and Asch, 2011) that may be contaminated by leaking pollutants 55 and additives in microplastic (Bakir et al., 2014; Mato et al., 2001), the direct exposure of 56…”
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 ”
Frequency of Microplastics in Mesopelagic Fishes from the Northwest Atlantic (2018, methodology): “We detected a significantly higher occurrence rate of 73% in contrast to previous studies reporting occurrence rates of 11% in the North Atlantic and 9 and 35% in the North Pacific Gyre regions (Boerger et al., 2010; Davison and Ash, 2011).”
