Samples were collected with a manta net at 15 different sites from Alegranza to La Gomera during the IMPLAMAC expedition. The microplastic concentration in surface waters ranged from 0.27 MPs/m3 in Alegranza to 136.7 MPs/m3 in the south of Gran Canaria. The highest concentration of MPs found was due to the presence of a sea-surface slick, also called “marine litter windrow”, formed in the south of Gran Canaria. The most abundant zooplankton group in the neuston was copepods, except at the marine litter windrow where fish larvae and eggs predominated. This indicates that coastal areas where marine litter windrows are formed have a high risk of MP ingestion and potential adverse effects on biota. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/122927 | ISSN: | 0025-326X | DOI: | 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2023.115057 | Fuente: | Marine pollution bulletin [ISSN 0025-326X], v. 192, 115057, (Julio 2023) |
