Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive pollutants that may threaten aquatic organisms, especially during early life stages. This study investigated effects of MPs on the hatching rate of Japanese flounder eggs. Fertilized eggs were exposed to polystyrene (PS) microbeads (primary microplastics) (3 and 10 {micro}m, at 20 and 200 particles/ml), and secondary MPs derived from coastal debris (rope, plastic bottles, fish net, string, and rubber pads) collected in Nagasaki, Japan. Hatching rates of flounder eggs were unaffected by either primary or secondary microplastics, suggesting limited impact of microplastics on this brief developmental stage.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
