| Abstract | The direct evidences for the ingestion of microplastics by cetaceans, especially the cetaceans in Asian marine areas are limited. In this study, residue of microplastics in the intestinal tracts of East Asian finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis sunameri) was investigated. Microplastics were detected in all specimens, with mean abundance of 19.1 +/- 7.2 items/individual. With respect to microplastics properties, fibers, blue items, and polypropylene were predominant in shapes, colors, and plastic materials, respectively. Trophic transfer and unintentional ingestion might be the potential pathways for microplastics ingested by finless porpoise. The specific intestinal structure might account for the predominance of fibers and the accumulation of microplastics at the beginning portion of intestines. This study indicates that cetaceans in Chinese marine areas also suffer from microplastics pollution. Further studies on the fate and ecological effects of microplastics should be conducted to reveal their potential risks to cetaceans. |
