Toxic dinoflagellate blooms and microplastics are widespread coastal pollutants. In this study, the scallop, Argopecten irradians, was selected as an experimental organism to systematically investigate the single and combined toxic effects of polystyrene (PS) and the toxic dinoflagellate, Alexandrium pacificum. The results showed that both PS and algal cells could be ingested by A. irradians. The survival rate of A. irradians...

Japanese anchovy ( Engraulis japonicus ) is a small pelagic fish that is frequently targeted by commercial fisheries. Japanese anchovy plays a crucial role as a vital link between primary and higher‐order consumers. The elemental mercury in Japanese anchovy muscles easily bioaccumulates and is transmitted to top predators. We investigated the variation in the diets and mercury accumulation of Japanese anchovy in the high seas...
