Microplastic-Contaminated Feed Interferes with Antioxidant Enzyme and Lysozyme Gene Expression of Pacific White Shrimp (<i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i>) Leading to Hepatopancreas Damage and Increased Mortality

Microplastic-Contaminated Feed Interferes with Antioxidant Enzyme and Lysozyme Gene Expression of Pacific White Shrimp (<i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i>) Leading to Hepatopancreas Damage and Increased Mortality

Microplastic pollution can interfere with aquatic animal health and nonspecific immunity, increasing the potential for pathogen infection in crustaceans. However, the long-term effects of microplastics on crustacean immunity are less understood, especially regarding their toxicity in Pacific white s...
