This collection presents experimental data and a literature meta-analysis to understand microplastic translocation to fish tissue and egestion rates. Juvenile barramundi (Lates calcifer) were exposed through their diet to polyamide (PA) fibres and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibres and fragments (8–547 μm in length) to determine if shape, size, and polymer type influence microplastic translocation and egestion rates.
