• Microplastics in mussels along the coastal waters of China. (2016, background): “The primary environmental risks associated with microplastics is their suspected bioavailability for marine organisms (Wright et al., 2013; Desforges et al., 2015).”
• Occurrence and ingestion of microplastics by zooplankton in Kenya's marine environment: first documented evidence (2018, background): “The prevalence of ingestion of filaments by the zooplankton groups might not only reflect their apparent predominance in the environment but also might have been enhanced by the fact that plastic filaments are capable of self-folding and twisting, which reduces their overall size and thus potentiall”
• Microplastics and mesoplastics in fish from coastal and fresh waters of China. (2017, background): “After small plastic particles enter the environments, the primary risks associated with them are their suspected bioavailability for marine organisms (Wright et al., 2013; Desforges et al., 2015).”
• Microplastics in commercial bivalves from China. (2015, background): “One of the primary environmental risks associated with microplastics is their bioavailability for marine organisms (Wright et al., 2013; Desforges et al., 2015).”
• Microplastics in bivalves and their habitat in relation to shellfish aquaculture proximity in coastal British Columbia, Canada (2019, background): “They have been documented to occur in coastal British Columbia (BC), Canada, both in seawater, and in the bodies of zooplankton (Desforges et al. 2014, 2015).”

• Frequency of Microplastics in Mesopelagic Fishes from the Northwest Atlantic (2018, background): “Indeed the most common prey of mesopelagic fish are copepods, euphausiids, amphipods, larvae, and decapods and all have been reported to ingest microplastics (Setälä et al., 2014; Desforges and Ross, 2015; Lönnstedt and Eklöv, 2016).”
