Ecophysiology and Microplastics in Marine Molluscs provides a comprehensive examination of emerging microplastic pollutants and their physiological impacts on marine mollusks. The book collates emerging research on the biological impacts of microplastics on mollusks, a key taxon of significant commercial and ecological import. Written by an international team of experts, it begins with an overview of microplastics and their presence in marine environments. It then delves into how microplastics are ingested and processed by mollusks, their internal accumulation, and the resulting impacts on metabolism, immunity, development, reproduction, and behavior.

The book also examines the broader implications for aquaculture and suggests strategies for mitigating microplastic pollution in marine farming, making it an invaluable resource for students, young researchers, and professionals in the fields of marine biology, ecotoxicology, and aquaculture.
