Microplastic ingestion: Are seabirds more affected than other marine species?

In recent times, plastic production has increased due to the convenience and multipurpose use. As plastic may make life easier on humans, the amount of plastic debris has increased as well as the effect on marine life.

Microplastic ingestion: Are seabirds more affected than other marine species? Saavedra, Casilda Baran, Khrista En los últimos tiempos, la producción de plástico ha aumentado debido a la conveniencia y al uso multipropósito. Como el plástico puede hacer la vida más fácil a los seres humanos, la cantidad de desechos plásticos ha incrementado, lo mismo que los efectos en la vida marina. Dado que es un tema relativamente nuevo, los efectos de los microplásticos sobre las especies marinas están intentando ser modelados en laboratorios y observados en el campo. Los efectos de los desechos plásticos en las especies marinas incluyen, entre otros, el enredo, la ingestión, la posible bioacumulación, las exposiciones químicas e incluso la muerte. Los plásticos más grandes pueden convertirse en partículas más pequeñas, conocidas como microplásticos, que, debido a su reducido tamaño, hacen difícil el estudio de sus efectos en la vida marina. Los microplásticos son un problema global que afecta a las especies. Algunos de los factores que influyen en la afectación de especies marinas por microplásticos son: la alimentación, el color, la edad y la ingestión accidental / secundaria. El enfoque de este artículo de investigación es la ingesta del porcentaje promedio de microplásticos por especies de aves marinas en comparación con otras especies marinas en todo el mundo. In recent times, plastic production has increased due to the convenience and multipurpose use. As plastic may make life easier on humans, the amount of plastic debris has increased as well as the effect on marine life. Since it is a relatively new topic, the effects on marine species are trying to be modeled in laboratories and observed in the field. The effects of plastic marine debris include but are not limited to entanglement, ingestion, possible bioaccumulation, chemical exposures, and even death. Larger plastics can become smaller particles, microplastics, which are difficult to study the effects on marine life due to the small size. Microplastics are a global issue that effect species. Some of the factors that are considered of why different organisms ingest plastics include: method of feeding, color, age, and accidental/secondary ingestion. The focus of this research article is the ingestion of average percentage of microplastics of seabird species compared to other marine species throughout the world.
