GOLD COAST, Australia, Feb. 20 (TNSres) -- Griffith University issued the following news:
Researchers have discovered not only microplastics but also a higher abundance of cellulose-based fibres in the intestine samples of four apex shark species caught off the coast of South East Queensland (SEQ).
The finding sheds light on the potential food-chain transfer or direct ingestion of foreign materials by these marine predators.
The study, led by PhD candidate . . .
