Effect of suspended microplastics on larval swimming speed of the cold-water scleractinian coral of Desmophyllum pertusum

We report the results of a short-term experiment testing the effects of microplastics (MP) on the larvae of the cold-water coral Desmophyllum pertusum (syn. Lophelia pertusa). The experiment was conducted at the Tjärnö Marine Laboratory Facilities (University of Gothenburg, Sweden). To simulate MP p...
