3.1.3. Mollusca View in CoL View at ENA
The members of the phylum Mollusca (gastropods, bivalves, and cephalopods) are economically important due to their consumption as food and the wide variety of species they encompass. In this review, we considered a total of 52 species from 36 articles. The concentration of MPs in these organisms was mostly observed in their soft tissues, with smaller amounts found in the stomach, gills, intestines, GIT, and digestive glands. In most studies, 10% potassium hydroxide was used for tissue separation, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and micro- Fourier transform infrared (µFTIR) methods were used for polymer detection. The shapes of MPs were reported as fibers, fragments, films, pellets, microbeads, foam, and sheets, with fibers and fragments being predominant.
