Abstract

In order to explore the relationship between the feeding ability of oysters and microplastics, the changes in the feeding rate of oysters under different concentrations of microplastics can be studied in the laboratory. The results show that the four concentrations set in the experiment are above 5 mg It has a significant effect on the water filtration green and food intake rate of oysters, and the absorption rate and food intake rate decrease with the increase of microplastics concentration; when the concentration is 5mg \ L, the indicator is in a normal state. According to the research results, when the concentration is 5mg \ L, the feeding ability of oysters is ideal, which is suitable for the transformation and circulation of oysters in vivo.
