Concerns regarding the accumulation of microplastic in fish cages that
could have an effect on human health when consumed are raised by
the way farmed fish bite nylon netting. Net biting is actually caused
by biofouling on the mesh, which is a tasty food that attracts fish.
Therefore, it is possible that some of the microplastics from the mesh
will be consumed by fish and that after people eat the fish, those
microplastics will enter their digestive systems. Additionally, through
marine currents, land fluxes, and feeding chains in the ocean, caged
fish may come into contact with microplastics. Comparisons with
natural populations of Turkish and Iranian fish have been done in order
to assess the level of microplastic contamination in fish kept in cages.
