Plastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems continues to rise, resulting in micro- and nanoparticle accumulation in the aquatic environment. A new study by an aquatic ecology group at the University of Eastern Finland investigated how these tiny plastic particles and their surface charge affect fish reproductive traits, indicating that negative effects may be pronounced under stressful conditions.
