Rapid Egestion of Microplastics in Juvenile Barramundi: No Evidence of Gut Retention or Tissue Translocation

This collection presents experimental data and a literature meta-analysis to understand microplastic translocation to fish tissue and egestion rates. Juvenile barramundi (Lates calcifer) were exposed through their diet to polyamide (PA) fibres and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibres and fragments (8–547 μm in length) to determine if shape, size, and polymer type influence microplastic translocation and egestion rates.

本数据集包含实验数据与文献荟萃分析，旨在探究微塑料向鱼类组织的迁移规律及排出速率。实验以幼年尖吻鲈（Lates calcifer）为研究对象，通过膳食暴露于聚酰胺（PA）纤维、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）纤维及碎片（长度范围8–547 μm），以验证形状、尺寸及聚合物类型是否对微塑料的迁移与排出速率产生影响。
