Her research, which aims to quantify ingested microplastics the amount, size, and type found in the sardines stomachs and muscle tissues, will help other scientists studying a growing and international microplastics problem.

Key Points: 
  • Her research, which aims to quantify ingested microplastics the amount, size, and type found in the sardines stomachs and muscle tissues, will help other scientists studying a growing and international microplastics problem.
  • Im finding microplastics in the stomachs and muscle tissues of the sardines, which is what you hope you dont find, she relayed.
  • These findings ultimately could help build the foundation for future research concentrating on physiological pathways of assimilated microplastics in sardines and potentially other fishes.
  • Pacific sardines are filter feeders that feed on a variety of plankton in the same size range as marine microplastics and are vulnerable to ingesting microplastics, Bowers said.
