Abstract: (4231 Views)
The production of plastics and plastic waste during the past 60 years has been grown dramatically throughout the world. Owing to the importance of Chabahar Bay as an strategic marine region in Oman sea and the need for obtaining basic information on the pollution status in this area, this study evaluated the microplacstics (MPS) pollution in the soft tissue of Chiton lamyi ,and Acmaea profunda from three sites of Chabahar Bay, including the Tis Station, Baharan Park and desalination Chabahar-Conarak area. The samples were transferred to the laboratory and the amount and type of MPS were evaluated after preparation and extraction. The total number of MPS found in the studied sites in biological species varied from 1.9 - 3.7 items/g and 1.07 -2 items/individual. MPS were the most common in microfibers species (84%) and Pellets (15%).The smallest percentage of MPS was found in films (1%). The presence of MPS in the biological species studied belonged to the park of Bahar Chabahar Park, Which may be due to the various activities such as tourism, recreation and fishing in the area.
