| dc.description | [EN] Macroscopic observations of floating plastic debris collected at several places along the Catalan coast (northwestern Mediterranean) showed conspicuous green-yellow patches adhered to them. The microscopic examination of these patches showed that they were constituted mainly of benthic diatoms and small flagellates (< 20 μm). Potential harmful dinoflagellates such as Ostreopsis sp. and Coalia sp., resting cysts of unidentified dinoflagellates and both temporary cysts and vegetative cells of Alexandrium taylori were also found. Plastic debris is considered to be one of the most serious problems affecting the marine environment. We suggest drifting plastic debris as a potential vector for microalgae dispersal. | - |
| dc.description | [ES] La observación microscópica de la superficie de una serie de restos de plásticos flotantes recogidos en diversas localidades de la costa catalana (Mediterráneo noroccidental) reveló la presencia de conspicuas manchas amarillo-verdosas. La observación microscópica de dichas manchas mostró que estaban constituidas principalmente por diatomeas bentónicas y pequeños flagelados (< 20 μm). También se detectó la presencia de dinoflagelados potencialmente tóxicos como Ostreopsis sp. and Coalia sp., quistes de resistencia de dinoflagelados no identificados, así como quistes temporales y células vegetativas de Alexandrium taylori. Los plásticos están considerados en la actualidad como uno de los problemas más serios que afectan el medio marino. Se sugiere que los restos de plásticos flotantes podrían ser vectores de dispersión de microalgas nocivas. | - |
