Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plastic debris and waste are a growing problem in aquatic ecosystems, and directly and indirectly affect aquatic life. Like a Trojan horse, micro and nanoplastics can play an important role in transferring biotic and abiotic pollutants. Therefore, an assessment of the toxicity of microplastics and its effects on fish is necessary. The purpose of the Special Issue is to report original research on the effects of nano and microplastics on all the physiological, genetic, biochemical, and biological aspects of fish. The topics of interest include the toxicity effects of micro and nanoplastics, either alone or in combination with the impact of other xenobiotics on fish. Manuscripts related to the fate of microplastics in fish bodies and their food chain are also welcome. This Special Issue welcomes research papers, review articles, research notes, technical reports, and short communications.
