Every year, about 8 million metric tons of plastic waste is dumped into our oceans. Hence, in some parts of the oceans, there is more plastic than planktons and krills which are a source of food for many fish.
Now, according to a research, fish eat plastic because it breaks down into smaller fragments which are similar to the size of planktons. In addition to this, the plastic fragments present in salty seas or oceans, release odor similar to that given off by planktons. Hence, fish mistakenly assume the plastic fragments to be planktons and thus, eat them. As a result, many of them die.
Besides this, some of these fish, even reach our table as seafood. If we eat such fish, it can cause severe health problems. Hence, it is very important to recycle plastic and use eco-friendly products like paper bags.
