New study shows that 73% of #DeepSea decapods had ingested #microplastics, mostly fibers (91%). Catalan specimens had significantly more MPs than Sardinian ones. A. antennatus had the highest MP load in the Catalan area, Nephrops was the most contaminated decapod in Sardinia. doi.org/10.1016/j.en...
