Are Microplastics Changing Fish Reproduction? The Case of Lionfish in the Colombian Caribbean

In this webinar, learn about the potential effects of microplastic ingestion and exposure to the compound di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate on lionfish reproduction. A study conducted on 38 specimens of Pterois volitans in the Colombian insular Caribbean found evidence of bioaccumulation of these contaminants and alterations in their reproductive systems.

Join Laura Valderrama Ballesteros and Néstor Hernando Campos to understand how plastic pollution and chemical compounds affect marine biodiversity, and why these findings matter for raising awareness about the use and consumption of synthetic products, as well as proper waste management.
