Modelling the transfer and accumulation of microplastics in a riverine freshwater food web
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-02-26)
Microplastics are a pervasive pollutant of aquatic ecosystems and are reported to interact with a wide range of aquatic biota. The complexities of natural food webs means that the transfer and accumulation of microplastics ...
Microplastics in brown trout (Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758) from an Irish riverine system
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-01)
Rivers play an important role in the overall transport of microplastic pollution (1 μm to 5 mm), with fluvial dynamics expected to influence biotic interactions, particularly for fish. So far, there have been few assessments ...

Plastics, prawns, and patterns: Microplastic loadings in Nephrops norvegicus and surrounding habitat in the North East Atlantic
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-02-21)
The presence of microplastics (MPs), a contaminant of emerging concern, has attracted increasing attention in commercially important seafood species such as Nephrops norvegicus. This species lend themselves well as ...
Size dependent egestion of polyester fibres in the Dublin Bay Prawn (Nephrops norvegicus)
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-05-24)
Microplastics (MPs) are an extensive global contaminant in the marine environment, known to be ingested by marine organisms. The presence of MPs in the commercially important marine decapod crustacean Nephrops norvegicus ...
Quantification of microplastic ingestion by the decapod crustacean Nephrops norvegicus from Irish waters
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-01-15)
Microplastics are widespread pollutants in the marine environment, yet few studies have assessed the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in commercial species. This study evaluates the presence of ingested ...
