A hidden lethal effect of long microplastic fibres on the coastal copepod Acartia erythraea

We investigated the lethal effects of a long fibrous microplastic (the range of lengths, widths, and thicknesses were 1.5–3.6 mm, 10–16 μm, and 7–8.5 μm, respectively) made of polyethylene terephthalate textile, on the marine copepod Acartia erythraea. In laboratory, starved copepods were observed t...
