At Avian Island (Antarctica-67S),we sampled a colony of Adélie penguins.
As they feed on krill, the analysis of their feces will determine microplastics concentration and study they transfer along the food web. #microANT @ub.edu @irbio-ub.bsky.social @manelgazo.bsky.social @odeigg.bsky.social

We begin sampling krill and mesopelagic fish in the Bransfield Strait 🇦🇶. The stomach contents will provide us with data on microplastic ingestion and will help us understand the transfer to the rest of the marine food web. #microANT Project: @miteco.gob.es @ub.edu @irbio-ub.bsky.social

L'equip #microANT deixa Ushuaia pel Canal de Beagle i creua ara el passatge de Drake, dimecres 15 s'albiraran les Shetland del Sud i continuarem fins a península antàrtica, baixant fins a Marguerite Bay.
