Recently, Alexandra from the Natural History Museum in London gave a speech saying that crabs in the Thames River in the United Kingdom are ingesting an alarming amount of plastic waste.
A British river survey team studied 55 crabs and 57 Chinese velvet crabs, It was found that almost every crab has plastic in the stomach and intestines, the plastic is very tightly entangled with the gastric membrane, the crab's stomach is smaller, the plastic fiber completely fills it, and shockingly, it is stuffed with the taste of each crab Plastic oil is composed of more than 100 kinds of fibers.
They are highly polluted.
Using a microscope to check the plastic fibers in a crab smell into a special checkered pattern, which means that the plastic comes from sanitary napkins.
There is a special grass inside the crab, which can Long-term retention of plastic, it is not yet known whether crabs can transmit such high pollution to other animals
.
Most astonishingly, the plastic stuffing each crab's stomach is made up of more than 100 fibres, and they are so highly polluted that it casts doubt on the UK's natural ecology
.
In addition, there is a special groove in the crab body.
Originally, plastic products are not easy to be decomposed.
With the special carrier of crab, if these crabs are transported to various countries and eaten by humans, it will cause harm to many people
.
Alexandra said: "It's shocking that the crabs not only fill their stomachs with plastic, but the plastic in each crab is made up of more than 100 kinds of fibers, and these crabs are undoubtedly highly contaminated
.
The researchers also noted that the triangular pattern of the pads was found in a crab, in other words the crab ate part of the pads, which the researchers say is a common contaminant
.
Unlike fish in rivers, which ingest plastic and excrete it quickly, crabs can't do anything about it
.
Shrimps in the Thames were relatively minimally affected, with plastic found in only 6 percent of the 100 prawns surveyed in their digestive systems, and no more than one fiber species per prawn
.
