| Title: |
Microplastic concentrations in molluscs from North-West Mediterranean Sea collected from 2017-10-10 to 2017-11-11 (NCEI Accession 0289356) |
| Abstract: |
This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm) in six molluscs species from North-West Mediterranean Sea collected from 2017-10-10 to 2017-11-11. The microplastics (MPs) measurements data include microplastic concentration per individual reported in unit of count of MPs/individual, microplastic concentration per gram of wet weight reported in unit of count of MPs/g w.w. and microplastic concentration per gram of dry weight reported in unit of count of MPs/g d.w. Between 2 and 4 kg of each sample type of molluscs species: Wedge clams (Donax trunculus), marine snail (Bolinus brandaris), razor clams (Ensis siliqua), fine clams (Tapes decussatus), big oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were acquired by donation from fisherman cooperatives. This dataset contains the results from all 13 sampling efforts, in a spreadsheet format. |
