Effects of microplastics on bivalves: Are experimental settings reflecting conditions in the field?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Marine pollution bulletin"
DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2021.112696
Abstract: Bivalves are the focus of experimental research as they can filtrate a broad size range of microplastics (MPs) with negative consequences for their physiology. Studies use a range of MP shapes, materials, sizes and concentrations… read more here.
