(40 points)Text 1 Microplastics are small plastic pieces that have accumulated in the marine (海洋的) environment following decades of pollution. These pieces can cause significant issues for marine creatures that ingest them, including inflammation (炎症), reduced feeding and weight-loss. Microplastic pollution may also spread from organism to organism when one creature is eaten by others. Since the pieces can bind to chemical pollutants, these associated poisons could accumulate in predator species.Mesopelagic (中层的) fish serve as a food source for a large variety of marine animals, including swordfish, dolphins, seals and sea birds. Typically living at depths of 2001,000 meters, these fish swim to the surface at night to feed and then return to deeper waters during the day. Through these upright movements, mesopelagic fish play a key role in the cycling of carbon and nutrients from the surface to the deep seaa process known as biogeochemical cycling. This means they could spread microplastic pollution throughout the marine ecosystem, by carrying microplastics from the surface down to deeper waters, affecting deep-sea organisms.To investigate this further, researchers set out to catch fish in a remote area of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. The researchers caught mesopelagic fish at varying depths, and then examined their stomachs for microplastics back in the lab. They used a particular air filter so as not to introduce plastic fibers in the air from the lab environment.The team found a lot of microplastics in the fish stomachs. As the researchers were extremely careful to clear pollution with fibers from the air, they were confident that the fish had eaten the fibers in the sea all over the world.The researchers plan further studies to learn more about how these fish are ingesting and spreading microplastics. It will be particularly interesting to see whether th
