dc.description.abstract | Microplastic (MP) pollution in marine environments has been a major global concern in recent years. Microplastic particles pose a threat in aquatic animals by accumulating in their digestive system, acting like a pollution vector, and they can also transfer to upper trophic levels. For that reason, commercially important deep-water rose shrimp Parapenaeus longirostris were employed in this study to examine the MP pollution status of two different regions (Samandag and Mersin offshore waters) of the northeastern Mediterranean Sea. MPs were detected in all examined specimens (average of 18.8 MPs ind(-1)), and fiber tangle-shaped like balls were observed by 22% and 9% at Samandag and Mersin, respectively. P. longirostris individuals from Samandag showed higher occurrence (100%) and higher accumulation (29.7 +/- 24.4 MPs ind(-1)). MP abundance extracted from the shrimp individuals from Samandag region was higher than that of previously reported shrimp species. The majority of extracted microplastics were fiber (100%), black (46%) in color and 1-2.5 mm in size. Polyethylene was identified as the most common polymer type by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). This study is the first report to evaluate microplastic occurrence and fiber tangles in P. longirostris from northeastern Mediterranean Sea. Results obtained in this study will enhance the understanding of MP pollution among different trophic levels. | en_US |
