Microplastics (<5 mm) are an emerging threat to marine ecosystems and organisms, including fish. Recent studies have ranked the Black Sea as one of most plastic-polluted European seas. Although there is evidence microplastic ingestion in various fish species Sea, data for Romanian sector still lacking. This study presents first assessment abundance, color, shape, size gastrointestinal tract gills Engraulis encrasicolus (European anchovy) collected from different locations along coast (NW...
Plastic pollution is a global concern that has significant impact on marine life. widely used and become pervasive pollutant in environments. contamination been documented both environments biota. cetacean gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) content received limited attention, especially the Black Sea. This study aims to investigate plastic GITs of bottlenose dolphins harbour porpoises, introducing novel methodology. Given exploration this issue Sea, research predominantly focuses microplastic...
Abstract Plastic and marine litter is one of the current growing issues worldwide, affecting unique Black Sea ecosystem as well. Litter yearly monitored for assessing ecological status across Romanian beaches. We tested aerial drone-inspection or UAV method versus visual census efficiency monitoring on two beaches, located in Danube Delta area. The detection probability varied between size-category items, with 71 – 100% accuracy screening drone images. Our pilot study showed successful...
