Abstract
⺠Clyde Sea Nephrops norvegicus were examined for the presence of plastics. ⺠Eighty three percent of the animals sampled contained plastic filaments. ⺠Tangled balls of filaments were found in 62% of the animals studied. ⺠Plastic filaments could be sourced to fishing waste. ⺠Nephrops in the laboratory ingested filaments in their diet.
