Verkefnið er lokað til 31.05.2020.In the 1950s, plastic became a revolutionary new material due to its durability, flexibility, low costs, lightweight and corrosive resistance. Unfortunately, some plastics end up in the marine environment making up between 60-80% of the marine litter. Although the fishing industry has been, and still is, an important economic factor in Iceland, research related to marine litter in the marine food web around Iceland is very limited. This study is the first to investigate the occurrence of microplastics in cod (Gadus morhua) and saithe (Pollachius virens) from the west coast of Iceland. The stomachs and intestines of the fish were processed using an alkaline digestion (KOH) method, where the digested sample w...
