Overview

Systematic review explores how feeding mechanisms influence microplastic accumulation in marine filter feeders, suggesting a need for standard methodologies.

Key Points

  • Accumulation of microplastics varies among marine benthic organisms based on their feeding mechanisms.
  • Most studies focused on bivalves, which constituted 76.67% of the research population studied for microplastics.
  • The review employed systematic methods following PRISMA 2020 guidelines to ensure methodological rigor.
  • Standardizing methodologies is essential, as high data heterogeneity complicates comparisons across studies.
