Abstract：
:Microplastics in aquatic environments, and specifically their effects on the health of organisms, are of growing concern worldwide. Of particular concern are microplastics in a similar size range to zooplankton, as they have been found in the digestive tracks of organisms, such as fish, who typically seek zooplankton as a food source. It is unclear, however, to what degree, if any, fish select for or against microplastic particles when feeding. It is also unclear whether ingestion of microplastics affects fish condition. To answer these questions, the estimated physical condition and degree of selective feeding on microplastics were determined for juvenile fish collected from the Hudson River. Considering only particles 0.335-5.0 mm, microplastics made up 12% of fish diets but 21% of particles found in the surrounding water column. Relying on Jacob's Modified Electivity (JME) to quantify selectivity in feeding, our results reveal selective feeding on zooplankton and avoidance of microplastics. There was no correlation between condition and degree of selectivity toward any particular food types, including microplastics. Future work needs to consider fish with different feeding strategies and potential bioaccumulation of microplastics in the food web. Fish selectivity of ingestion in regards to microplastics should additionally be tested on wider spatial and temporal scales.
