Sažetak
Commercially important shellfish species such as oysters (Ostrea edulis Linnaeus, 1758) accumulate and ingest microplastic particles what can pose a risk for the final consumers. Farmed populations of oysters were sampled from three shellfish farming sites in the eastern Adriatic Sea (north, middle and south) for the quantification of microplastics items. The analysis showed multiple types of microplastic including fragments (0, 58 MP/g), fibers (0, 7 MP/g) and other items (0, 04 MP/g). The number of total microplastic varied from 0, 33 to 5, 43 items/individual. The mean sizes of the diferent categories of microplastic particles were 20, 55 µm, 31, 88 µm and 456, 57 µm. More comprehensive research should be condacted on microplastic in seafood.
