Plastic pollution is widespread in oceans and the ingestion of plastic by marine organisms is causing concern
about potential adverse effects. The purpose of this study was to analyze the different types of plastics in the
digestive tract of female small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula). An alkaline digestion method using 10 %
potassium hydroxide (KOH), was used. The samples were filtered and visually observed to classify the plastics
according to size, shape, and color. Raman spectroscopy was further employed to identify the polymer types. The
study found the presence of plastics in 89.5 % of the 200 females analyzed, including 10 polymers, with polystyrene (PS), polyamide-6 (PA6), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and silicone rubber (SR) being the most common. The
polymers identified largely reflect the results of similar studies in the marine environment and were similar to
global polymer diversity of microplastics, which highlights the potential of S. canicula females for biomonitoring
microplastic pollution. [-]
