- W4379619615 abstract "Microplastics (MP, <5 mm) are found in coastal waters across various environmental compartments (biota, water, marine snow, sediment). The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a commercially important species that ingests MP; however, oysters are discriminant suspension feeders that do not consume all particles to which they are exposed. This study explored the relationship between MP in oysters on a recreational oyster bed and the surrounding environmental compartments in Long Island Sound (LIS; USA). The quantity and types of MP in oysters, water, marine snow, and sediment samples were determined. Precautions were taken to minimize and monitor MP contamination in the field and laboratory to improve the quality of data collected. Microplastics were isolated from samples via chemical digestion, and any suspected particles were identified using micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. A total of 86 MP were identified out of 885 suspected particles across environmental media. The highest MP count in an individual oyster was nine, indicating low concentrations of MP in oysters and the surrounding environment. Few polymers, except polyethylene terephthalate, were shared between oysters and the surrounding environmental compartments. Sediments contained the highest number of MP across all environmental compartments (42 total). These data aid in determining the types of MP (polymer composition, shape, size) to which oysters are exposed and identified those ingested. The low numbers of MP recorded, coupled with the lack of alignment of polymers between oysters and their surrounding environment, demonstrates further that oysters are a poor bioindicator species for MP pollution." @default.
