Microplastics in the Marine Environment: Distribution, Interactions and Effects (2015, background): “Lusher et al. (2013) reported microplastic polymers from 10 fish species from the English Channel.”
Frequency of Microplastics in Mesopelagic Fishes from the Northwest Atlantic (2018, result): “This is in agreement with other findings (Lusher et al., 2013, 2016; Neves et al., 2015; Rochman et al., 2015; Bellas et al., 2016).”
A Global Perspective on Microplastics (2020, background): “For example, Lusher et al. (2013) reported that 36% of pelagic and demersal fish collected from the English Channel had microplastics in their digestive systems.”
Investigating microplastic trophic transfer in marine top predators. (2018, methodology): “When interpreting FTIR output, only readings with confidence levels of 70% or greater (Lusher et al., 2013) and those considered to have reliable spectra matches (after visual inspection) were accepted.”
MICROPLASTICS INGESTION BY FRESHWATER FISH IN THE CHI RIVER, THAILAND (2020, background): “Reports concerning microplastic contamination in fish have mainly concentrated on oceans and shorelines with the minority assessing the effects in freshwater environments [22]-[27].”
Microplastics in seafood: Benchmark protocol for their extraction and characterization. (2016, background): “…and pelagic fish, seabirds, 69 reptiles and mammals (Codina-García et al., 2013; Cole et al., 2013, 2014; De Witte et al., 2014; 70 Lusher, 2015; Lusher et al., 2013, 2015; Moore et al., 2001; Sussarellu et al., 2016; Tourinho et al., 71 2010; Van Cauwenberghe and Janssen, 2014; Van…”

The physical impacts of microplastics on marine organisms: a review. (2013, background): “An average of 1.9 0.1 particles were recovered from those which contained plastic, the main polymers being polyamide and polyester, which are materials commonly used in the fishing industry (Lusher et al., 2012).”
Isolation of microplastics in biota-rich seawater samples and marine organisms (2014, neutral): “Lusher et al.10 recently identified that 36.5% of 544 pelagic fish sampled at study site L4 in the English channel (described above) contained microplastics (comparable in size to those found within our samples) within their intestinal tracts.”
Twenty years of microplastic pollution research—what have we learned? (2024, background): “…) Widespread detection of microplastics on shorelines worldwide ( 18 ) Occurrence of microplastics in commercial seafood and other food products ( 88 ) Microbeads detected in the Great Lakes, North America ( 25 ) Substantial quantities of microbeads reported in cosmetics ( 173 ) of microplastics…”
The presence of microplastics in the digestive tract of commercial fishes off Pantai Indah Kapuk coast, Jakarta, Indonesia (2019, background): “The microplastics were ingested by carnivore or large predatory fish because of mistaken prey or trophic transfer from prey to predator (Boerger et al. 2010; Lusher et al. 2013; Markic et al. 2018).”
