Research Progress on the Distribution of Microplastics in the Aquatic Environment and Their Effects on Aquatic Animals
The development of technology promotes the use of plastics,which are discharged and accumulated in the aquatic environment seri-ously endanger the health of aquatic animals and ecosystem safety.Non-degradable microplastics in the aquatic environment can affect the nor-mal growth and development of aquatic animals,which seriously restricts the development of aquaculture industry.This paper reviews the distri-bution and types of microplastics in water and their effects on the growth and development,antioxidant capacity,immune function and tissue structure of aquatic animals,aiming to provide a reference for the study of the effects of microplastics on aquatic animals and the healthy ecolog-ical development of aquatic animals.
