The effects of microplastic and natural particles on the invasive mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819) and the native Choromytilus meridionalis
Mussels living in coastal environments are often exposed to natural inorganic particles and hence may be well adapted to dealing with high sediment loads. The mechanisms by which they deal with particle loads do, however, cause stress and alter metabolic processes. An increasingly common anthropogen...
