Microplastic accumulation in benthic invertebrates in Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica)

Microplastic accumulation in benthic invertebrates in Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica)

Microplastic contamination of the benthic invertebrate fauna in Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica) was determined. Twelve macrobenthic species, characterized by different feeding strategies, were selected at 3 sampling sites at increasing distance from the Italian Scientific Base (Mario Zucchelli...
