In the past decade or so, the micro-plastic in the oceans is increasing at a very rapid rate, and this trend can be said to be detrimental to the survival of many marine life. Researchers found a small part of the deep-sea mud Plastic, but they are less familiar with how microwaves are transported in the oceans. As research progresses, researchers have found that a particular type of marine organism can collect in the deep ocean and consume traces of plastic particles.
Researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Institute in California (MBARI) conducted a study that involved the use of remotely controlled vehicles to feed this particular marine life, and the study found that the creature is roughly 10 cm (4 in.) In length ), Which live mainly deep beneath the surface of the ocean and capture their food primarily through a one-meter (three-foot) wide sticky 'house.' They also filter out plastic in seawater when filtering seawater .
Researchers found that some of these micro-plastics were eaten by animals and then excreted through the excrement and settled behind the seafloor, while other micro-plastics stuck in the mucus 'house', eventually sinking in when the house was clogged To the sea floor, so that the animal's excrement and mucus can make the plastic inside the ocean reach the deepest of the ocean.
In the experiment, researchers put some micro plastic, and this special marine life can quickly intake them, and then they can be discharged within about 12 hours from the number of beads embedded in the fecal particles and the size , Shikonin has collected and consumed plastic particles of various sizes used in the experiment, and this particular marine life 'house' can move down at a speed of 800 meters (2,600 feet) a day The "house" of this living creature, as well as the stool pellets, allows the rapid transport of microplastics from near-surface water to deep seabed.
