| Title: |
Microplastic concentrations in gastrointestinal tract and muscle of Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA during 2020-10-23 to 2021-10-15 (NCEI Accession 0302465) |
| Abstract: |
This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5 mm; reported in unit of particle count/g w.w.) in gastrointestinal tract and muscle of Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA during 2020-10-23 to 2021-10-15. The samples were caught with minnow trap from two locations: Falmouth and Bourne. Total length and width were recorded for the samples. This dataset contains the mean results from the fish samples, in a spreadsheet format. |
