2. Nurdle (bead) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurdle_(bead)

   Nurdles can disrupt many ecosystems, as some birds and fish may confuse these plastic pieces for their food and can end up starving because of how much plastic they have eaten. Nurdles can adsorb toxins and other harmful chemicals, known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), that can be eaten by fish, which can poison them or get caught for ...

   A small inoculation of live Spirulina algae may be introduced. Certain ubiquitous algae and bacteria are likely to be carried by the shrimp themselves and will soon colonize the walls of the container. There is a risk that pathogens also may be introduced. The Ecosphere can degrade with time.

5. Plastic pellet pollution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_pellet_pollution

   Plastic pellet pollution is a type of marine debris originating from the plastic particles that are universally used to manufacture large-scale plastics. In the context of plastic pollution , these pre-production plastic pellets are commonly known as ' nurdles' . [ 1 ]

6. Microplastics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microplastics

   When microplastic-laden animals are consumed by predators, the microplastics are then incorporated into the bodies of higher trophic-level feeders. For example, scientists have reported plastic accumulation in the stomachs of lantern fish which are small filter feeders and are the main prey for commercial fish like tuna and swordfish.

7. Marine plastic pollution - Wikipedia

   Another study found bits of plastic outnumber baby fish by seven to one in nursery waters off Hawaii. After dissecting hundreds of larval fish, the researchers discovered that many fish species ingested plastic particles. Plastics were also found in flying fish, which are eaten by top predators such as tunas and most Hawaiian seabirds. [197]
