Trophic transfer of microplastics in an estuarine food chain and the effects of a sorbed legacy pollutant

Abstract Microplastics are of increasing concern as they are readily ingested by aquatic organisms. This study investigated microplastic trophic transfer using larval inland silversides (Menidia beryllina) (5 d posthatch) and unicellular tintinnid (Favella spp.) as a model food chain relevant to Nor...
