Résumé

Microplastics of fibrous shape are esteemed to be the most abundant micro-debris form present in the environment. Despite the occurrence of microfibers in fish may pose a risk to human health, the literature is scarce regarding studies on the contamination in commercial marine fish mostly due to methodological issues. In this study, a versatile approach, able to discriminate among natural and synthetic microfibers according to the evaluation of specific morphological features, is proposed in farmed mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis). The approach was useful to determine that microfibers were present in 74% of mussel samples, with a mean number of 14.57 microfibers/individual, corresponding to 3.13 microfibers/g w.w. A negative correlation between the size of analysed mussels and the amount of microfibers/g w.w. was detected, showing that smaller specimens contained more microfibers than the larger ones. This work paves the way to further studies aimed to adequately assess the risk that microfibers may pose to marine biota, also considering the commercial value as seafood items of many species of the Mytilus genus and the potential implication for human exposure.
