|  | | 'Toxic Ocean Blues 4' 09 | | | | | Plastic resin pellets (small granules, 0.1-0.5cm in diameter) are widely distributed in the oceans on a global scale.They are an industrial raw material used by the plastic industry and are unintentionally, however, carelessly released into the environment during manufacturing and transportation. They are ingested by seabirds [mistaken for fish eggs]and other marine organisms, and their adverse effects are a concern....The high accumulation potental suggests that plastic resin pellets serve as both a transport medium and a potential source of toxic chemicals in the marine environment.
