Revealing the capability of the European hake to cope with micro-litter environmental exposure and its inferred potential health impact in the NW Mediterranean Sea

Muns-Pujadas et al., 2023

Aquest estudi analitza l’abundància, mida i composició de fibres antropogèniques, així com el seu possible impacte en la salut de juvenils de lluç (Merluccius merluccius) de la costa catalana. S’han detectat una mitjana de 0,85 fibres per metre cúbic d’aigua i 1,39 fibres per individu en els peixos, majoritàriament de cel·lulosa (77,8%). Tot i la seva presència, aquestes fibres no semblen afectar la salut dels lluços ni afavorir l’acumulació de paràsits.
