The research aims to investigate the combined effects of microplastic ingestion and climate change on marine organisms (using bivalve molluscs, Mytilus galloprovinciallis, as an experimental model in a laboratory experiment). The study is expected to show the potential effects of multiple stressors (microplastic ingestion and induced climate change effects) on the studied organism.
