BFAR: Deep study needed for fish 'microplastics'
Excerpt
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources on Friday appealed to researchers in the country to conduct a deeper probe on the effects of microplastics in fisher following a recent study by the Department of Science and Technology’s National Research Council of the Philippines that showed the presence of microplastics in extracted particles from 30 milkfish in Mindanao. BFAR spokesperson Nazer Briguera said that they are taking steps on getting more information about the discovery of microplastics in bangus harvested in Mindanao and its effects.
