Polyethylene particle size and proportion fragmented. a Microplastic particle size (mean ± S.D) in all sample types: whole krill homogenates, egested faecal pellets, and in the exposure stock suspension, letters denote statistically significant differences (p < 0.05, two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov Test). b Proportion of whole beads (blue) and fragments (orange) isolated from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) exposed to a Low (20%) (n = 9 krill with 16,308 particles detected) and High (80%) (n = 9 with 51,168 particles detected) plastic concentrations. Letters denote statistically significant differences (p < 0.05, Χ2 test)
