L’exposició prolongada a microplàstics altera el metabolisme de les gorgònies mediterrànies Aquests contaminants afecten processos clau d’aquests organismes colonials, decisius en l’estructura i la biodiversitat dels fons marins.

#RecercaUB | 🪸 Tot i que els microplàstics no provoquen danys visibles als teixits de les gorgònies, un estudi ha determinat que provoquen una reducció de la respiració i el seu metabolisme s'hi veu afectat.

Through ROV vídeo-analysis we investigated the effects of ALDFGs on VMEs of el Seco de los Olivos (Almería). We used GAMs to predict areas of high litter density and understanding the factors that contribute to litter acumulation at these deep environments 🤟🏽

Assessing marine litter on the VMEs of el Seco de los Olivos (W Mediterranean Sea) The Mediterranean Sea, as a semi-enclosed and highly-populated basin, is one of the world's largest hotspots for marine litter (ML). In the present st…
