Heterotrophic Dinoflagellate Growth and Grazing Rates Reduced by Microplastic Ingestion
Microplastics are ubiquitous contaminants in marine ecosystems worldwide, threatening fisheries production, food safety, and human health. Ingestion of microplastics by fish and large zooplankton has been documented, but there are few studies focusing on single-celled marine predators, including het...
