Thus, the possibility that these materials can reach trophic chains maintains an open discussion on itspossible implications in marine communities at the ecological level and for human health. European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) is a fish species of great ecological and commercial importance which has been reported to ingest microplastics in the NW Mediterranean (Compa et al., 2018), and it has been suggested as a suitable monitoring species for this kind of debris in epipelagic environments (Bray et al., 2019). In our current study, we aimed to determine themicro-litter ingestion in European anchovy and its potential effect on itshealth status. Classification of the different types of micro-litter was performed by visual characterisation (Rodríguez-Romeu et al., 2020). Health status was assessed by a multidisciplinary approach: analysis of fish condition indices, enzymatic biomarkers and histopathological alterations. Samples were collected from the NW Mediterranean Sea at two sampling stations located near by a highly and a lower populated area (Barcelona and Girona, respectively). Preliminary results showed 61% of fish containing micro-litterin their gastrointestinal tract, 9.4% corresponding to particlesand 50.6% to fibres. Mean intensitywas 2.40 (SD = 1.64) items/individual. No differences between areas in total prevalence nor intensity were found. However, micro-litter composition varied between sites, with higher abundance of particles (fragments and films) in Barcelona (61.90%), while in Girona fibres were the most abundant (71.9%). No correlation between the amount of micro-litter and fish condition indices nor biomarkers were found. Some common histological alterations in wild fish were also detected in the liver of European anchovy, including changesin the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, small inflammatory foci and presence of macrophages. However, none of these alterations seems to be attributable to micro-litter. Therefore, current results points to the good health status of European anchovy, and the micro-litter ingestion does not seem to have any impact on their health This study was supported by the project “SOMPESCA” (ARP059/19/00003) by the Catalan Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food (European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF)) and the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities project “PLASMAR” (RTI2018-094806-B-100) Peer reviewed 2021-02-09T13:49:09Z 2021-02-09T13:49:09Z 2020-07 comunicación de congreso http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_5794 Abstracts Volume Workshop on Marine Litter (BAMAR 2020): 77-78 (2020) 978-84-120734-6-1 http://hdl.handle.net/10261/229039 http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100002809 en #PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE# info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/AEI/Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2017-2020/RTI2018-094806-B-100 https://isms.cat/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/libro-BAMAR-ISMS-2020.pdf Sí none
