“…The information available in the literature on the ecotoxicological effects of MPs in fish is the result of controlled laboratory experiments. These results show that the ingestion of MPs and their accumulation in the digestive tract cause blockages in the digestive system and reduce feeding owing to false satiety, which causes structural and functional deterioration in the gastrointestinal tract, in addition to the effects and associated risks of transmitting hazardous chemicals and pathogenic microorganisms to fish [34][35][36][37][38].…”

“…The diversity in the shape and color of MPs can influence how fish ingest them. Studies have shown that fish species with different feeding behaviors and dietary preferences may accidentally ingest microplastics by mistaking them for prey or food because of their size, shape, and physical characteristics [26,[33][34][35][36][37][38]. These observations highlight the importance of understanding how different fish species interact with MPs and how the physical characteristics of MPs influence their ingestion.…”

Following global trends, research to determine the presence and abundance of microplastics (MPs) in environmental matrices in Colombia has focused on the coastal and marine environments. However, little scientific information is available on the impact of this pollutant on wetlands and fish. In this study, we provided scientific data on the occurrence and abundance of MPs in water and fish from Tocagua Lake, an important wetland in the Colombian Caribbean, and the unique habitat of wild cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus). Water (72) and fish (228 individuals of six species) samples were collected during four sampling events and two climatic seasons (wet and dry). A total of 1174 microplastic particles were collected in water with an average abundance of microplastics at the six stations sampled during four sampling events of 0.96 ± 0.40 MPs/L, and 648 MPs were identified in the gastrointestinal tract of 191 individuals, corresponding to a frequency of occurrence of 83.7%. Black- and blue-colored fiber MPs were particles that predominated in both matrices (water and fish), and seven types of polymers were identified through attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. The abundance, type, and color of MPs in water and fish were not significantly different between seasons.

“…The number of MNPs in the intestine of the fish (23.91 particles per individual or 1.10 particles per gram) was higher than in the stomach (12.80 particles per individual or 0.37 particles per gram) [37]. According to a survey, the levels of MNPs in farmed aquatic organisms growing in the lake were found to be higher compared to other water sources [43]. Yuan et al investigated MNP contamination in 349 sea bass specimens from coastal areas of Jiangsu Province, China.…”

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are polymeric compounds widely used in industry and daily life. Although contamination of aquatic products with MNPs exists, most current research on MNPs focuses on environmental, ecological, and toxicological studies, with less on food safety. Currently, the extent to which aquatic products are affected depends primarily on the physical and chemical properties of the consumed MNPs and the content of MNPs. This review presents new findings on the occurrence of MNPs in aquatic products in light of their properties, carrier effects, chemical effects, seasonality, spatiality, and differences in their location within organisms. The latest studies have been summarized for separation and identification of MNPs for aquatic products as well as their physical and chemical properties in aquatic products using fish, bivalves, and crustaceans as models from a food safety perspective. Also, the shortcomings of safety studies are reviewed, and guidance is provided for future research directions. Finally, gaps in current knowledge on MNPs are also emphasized.

“…In size, shape, and color, MPs as an environmental stressor resemble plankton, which makes it difficult for small fish and invertebrates to distinguish MPs from food [ 4 , 8 ].

Furthermore, fish meal is an important exposure route of MPs for aquatic animals.…”

Microplastics (MPs), which are particles with a diameter of less than 5 mm, have been extensively studied due to their serious global pollution. Typically, MPs in water originate from terrestrial input. A number of studies have reported the presence of MPs as a stressor in water environments worldwide, and their potential threat to the aquatic animals, affecting the growth, oxidative stress responses, body composition, histopathology, intestinal flora, and immune and reproduction systems. During the plastic degradation process, a large variety of toxic substances are released. MPs have been proposed to be the carriers of toxic chemicals and harmful microorganisms. A study of the literature on MP pollution and stress on the aquatic animals associated with MPs was carried out.
