Simulation of encounter rates between zooplankton organisms and microplastics in a tropical estuary.
Coastal estuarine systems may hold a large number of microplastic particles, which predators often mistake for prey. This study estimated the encounter rates between microplastics (alleged prey) and zooplankton having different feeding modes, trophic positions, swimming velocities, and perception di...
