Abstract

In the original publication of the article, the information "Microplastics can act as carriers.. could harm fish survivability." from the section “Impacts on aquatic organisms and fishes” was incorrectly included in the table 2. The correct table 2 is given below. Plastic or polymers are found in fishes and other aquatic organisms Name of organisms Study location Types of plastic/polymers recorded References Common name Scientific name Seals Pinnipedia spp. Bird Island, South Georgia 43% Packaging bands, 25% synthetic line, and 17% fishing net Waluda and Staniland (2013) Sea lions Otariinae spp. Australian fur seals Southern Australia Plastic twine or rope, other plastics, monofilament line Lawson et al.
