摘要
As an emerging pollutant,the presence of microplastics in marine organisms has been concerned increasingly.Shellfi sh,which are both economically and ecologically important,are of particular concern.In this study,we investigated the microplastic pollution in wild and farmed oysters(Crassostrea gigas)and clams(Ruditapes philippinarum)in the Jiaozhou Bay,China,for the fi rst time.We found the microplastic pollution in shellfi sh in Jiaozhou Bay was at a moderate level.The abundance of microplastics in shellfi sh ranged from 0.16 to 12.09 items/g(wet weight,ww)or 1 to 9 items/ind.The average abundance of the ingested microplastics was 1.21 items/g(or 2.17 items/ind.)in all shellfi sh,1.51 items/g(or 2.00 items/ind.)in clams and 0.92 items/g(or 2.34 items/ind.)in oysters.The abundance of microplastics in clams was signifi cantly higher than that in oysters.Most microplastics(92.97%)were fi bers,followed by fragments.The predominant color of the microplastics was black(42.97%),followed by blue,transparent,and red.Cellophane and polyethylene terephthalate(PET)dominated the microplastic composition.According to shellfi sh consumption,it can be inferred that the average microplastic consumption through Chinese diet is 1.27×10^(3)items per capita per year.
