There is growing concern for food web contamination as a result of the increase in plastic waste, its accumulation in the marine environment, and the association of contaminants with plastic. Our study presents the first evidence of bioaccumulation of PCBs, DDTs and other chlorinated pesticides, PBDEs, and NP in fish collected from the NPCG. Long range transport of POPs can explain the presence of most POPs at great distances from sources, and differentiating plastic sources from natural prey remains elusive. Considering evidence for limited LRAT of BDE-209, however, and its propensity to degrade, the presence of BDE-209 in some yellowtail suggests a plastic exposure route, but research is needed to confirm this idea. Further investigation of NP in the marine environment is also needed; nevertheless,
GIVEN the strong association of Environmental NP with anthropogenic sources, the unlikelihood of long-Range Transport, and Detection of additive-derived NP in Plastic from the NPCG, with no Other Known sources of NP in this Remote Region, we concluded the Presence of NP. in yellowtail from the NPCG is best explained by exposure to plastic debris. Study of the Fate and Transport of additional NP, ITS Presence in Biota Gyre, and would Biomagnification potential Enhance our understanding
of potential contamination by Marine Food Web Plastic debris. we concluded the presence of NP in yellowtail from the NPCG is best explained by exposure to plastic debris. Study of the Fate and Transport of additional NP, ITS Presence in Biota Gyre, and would Biomagnification potential Enhance our understanding of potential contamination by Marine Food Web Plastic debris. we concluded the presence of NP in yellowtail from the NPCG is best explained by exposure to plastic debris.
