Congratulations to Sara, Peter, Fatema and Keith on this recent publication (Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022, 184, 114121, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2022.114121). The work was led by Bridie Allen and Isabella Clere from Marine Science (Otago)
Raman microscopy was used to measure plastic contaminants from fish to discover levels of pollutant and the most persistent plastics present.
The study “study provides baseline information to supplement the lack of current research in the South Pacific, specifically southern New Zealand, on microplastics ingested in commercial wild fish destined for human consumption”
