Polyethylene microplastics affect osmoregulation, overall metabolism and induce anxiety in zebrafish.

Polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs) are widespread aquatic pollutants whose effects on biota vary across species. In fish, MPs can damage gill and digestive structures, with deleterious consequences for health. However, the mechanisms of action and associated physiological responses remain poorly understood.
