Microplastics in the marine environment: a review of the methods used for identification and quantification.
Hidalgo-Ruz V, Gutow L, Thompson RC, Thiel M. Hidalgo-Ruz V, et al. Environ Sci Technol. 2012 Mar 20;46(6):3060-75. doi: 10.1021/es2031505. Epub 2012 Mar 2. Environ Sci Technol. 2012. PMID: 22321064 Review.
Most sediment samples came from sandy beaches at the high tide line, and most seawater samples were taken at the sea surface using neuston nets. Four steps were distinguished during sample processing: density separation, filtration, sieving, and visual sorting of microplas …

Mesh selectivity of neuston nets for microplastics.
Tokai T, Uchida K, Kuroda M, Isobe A. Tokai T, et al. Mar Pollut Bull. 2021 Apr;165:112111. doi: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2021.112111. Epub 2021 Feb 12. Mar Pollut Bull. 2021. PMID: 33588104 Free article.
Two neuston nets, mesh opening 1.00 mm and 0.333 mm, were towed in parallel. The 0.333 mm net collected more microplastics of longest length 2.00 mm than the 1.00 mm net. ...

Microplastic occurrence and phthalate ester levels in neuston samples and skin biopsies of filter-feeding megafauna from La Paz Bay (Mexico).
Galli M, Olavarrieta Garcia T, Baini M, Urbán R J, Ramírez-Macías D, Viloria-Gómora L, Panti C, Martellini T, Cincinelli A, Fossi MC. Galli M, et al. Mar Pollut Bull. 2023 Jul;192:115086. doi: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2023.115086. Epub 2023 May 24. Mar Pollut Bull. 2023. PMID: 37236093 Free article.
An assessment of microplastic abundance and the chemical impact of Phthalates esters (PAEs) were performed in neustonic samples and skin biopsies of Balaenoptera physalus and Rhincodon typus inhabiting the Gulf of California (Mexico). ...Plasticizer fingerprint showed a si …

The mysterious ecosystem at the ocean's surface.
Helm RR. Helm RR. PLoS Biol. 2021 Apr 28;19(4):e3001046. doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3001046. eCollection 2021 Apr. PLoS Biol. 2021. PMID: 33909611 Free PMC article. Review.
Many ecologically and economically important fish species live as or rely upon neuston. Species at the surface are not distributed uniformly; the ocean's surface harbors unique neustonic communities and ecoregions found at only certain latitudes and only in specific …

Microplastics as a threat to coral reef environments: Detection of phthalate esters in neuston and scleractinian corals from the Faafu Atoll, Maldives.
Saliu F, Montano S, Leoni B, Lasagni M, Galli P. Saliu F, et al. Mar Pollut Bull. 2019 May;142:234-241. doi: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2019.03.043. Epub 2019 Mar 28. Mar Pollut Bull. 2019. PMID: 31232298 Free article.
MPs and PAEs were monitored in subsurface neustonic tow samples and scleractinian corals across twelve sampling sites. The results showed widespread MP contamination and the presence of appreciable levels of PAEs in the scleractinian corals sampled inside the atoll rim nea …

Microplastic sampling with the AVANI trawl compared to two neuston trawls in the Bay of Bengal and South Pacific.
Eriksen M, Liboiron M, Kiessling T, Charron L, Alling A, Lebreton L, Richards H, Roth B, Ory NC, Hidalgo-Ruz V, Meerhoff E, Box C, Cummins A, Thiel M. Eriksen M, et al. Environ Pollut. 2018 Jan;232:430-439. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2017.09.058. Epub 2017 Sep 28. Environ Pollut. 2018. PMID: 28966027
Many typical neuston trawls can only be used during relatively calm sea states and slow tow speeds. During two expeditions to the Bay of Bengal and the eastern South Pacific we investigated whether the new, high-speed AVANI trawl (All-purpose Velocity Accelerated Net Instr …

First assessment of anthropogenic particle ingestion in Pontellid copepods: Pontella mediterranea as a potential microplastic reservoir in the Neuston.
Fagiano V, Alomar C, Ventero A, de Puelles MLF, Iglesias M, Deudero S. Fagiano V, et al. Sci Total Environ. 2024 Jan 15;908:168480. doi: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168480. Epub 2023 Nov 10. Sci Total Environ. 2024. PMID: 37951251 Free article.
The AP abundances found (surface waters: 0.67 1.04 APs/m(3); subsurface waters: 3.85 2.67 APs/m(3)) were consistent with those previously observed in the Mediterranean basin, confirming that the ingestion values observed in P. mediterranea are not due to a local accumulation of e …
