🐟Plastic Contamination in Farmed Seabass and Seabream from the Mediterranean

A study by Prof. Camilla Della Torre and colleagues found plastics in 38% of seabass and seabream from Mediterranean aquaculture facilities.

Higher contamination was observed in Turkey and Greece compared to Italy.
Plastics were mostly in the gastrointestinal tract, but traces were also in the muscle — the part we eat.
Sources may include land-based pollution, open sea debris, and aquaculture practices.
