Trait responses of aquatic organisms from microfibre exposure studies published 2015-2024 v2

The resource includes data extracted from published laboratory studies investigating the impacts of microfibres (fibres < 5 mm in size) on various traits within aquatic organisms. Data were accessible on 19/06/2024 and represent studies from 2015 to 2024. The dataset includes measured responses in a range of aquatic organisms after microfibre exposure. Measures correspond to the following defined traits: 1. Development-Healthy molting and growth of organs and structures. 2. Fecundity-Number of offspring and quality of gametes. 3. Feeding-Intake, handling and egestion of resources. 4. Growth-Change in organism weight, length or derived measures. 5. Hatching -Number, emergence time and morphology of offspring. 6. Non-apical endpoints-Indices and measures of general organism wellbeing. 7. Survival-Organisms alive at a particular time point. This dataset was created to collate microfibre study findings for meta-analyses and also to identify gaps within the literature. This work was supported by NERC (NE/Y003985/1) as part of the Future Fibres Networking Grant.
