Impacts generated by plastic pollution constitute one of the most significant challenges that humanity must face in the next century, receiving increasing attention from the society at large. Thus, quantifying the state of knowledge concerning organisms affected by plastic debris is extremely important to understand threats to marine species. In this context, this study aimed to review and quantify published data on which marine fish species have been reported as interacting with plastic waste through a scientometric analysis carried out on the Web of Science, Scopus and Scielo databases, using a combination of keywords and Boolean operators. Despite no results for Agnatha, Holocephali and Sarcopterygii, this survey registered 116 documents reporting high intake and low entanglement interactions for 310 teleost species and 33 Elasmobranchs. The results indicate increased knowledge production after 2012, reporting a diversity of debris colors, shapes and materials distributed throughout the globe, but with greater research efforts performed in the Northeast Atlantic and the Mediterranean and Black Seas. This study provides analyses, perspectives and suggestions for future assessments, gathering information and seeking to better understand the issue concerning these debris, which represent another threat to the fauna of the world’s oceans.

新威胁：从科学计量学角度评估海洋鱼类与塑料垃圾之间的主要相互作用

塑料污染产生的影响是下个世纪人类必须面临的最重大挑战之一，越来越受到全社会的关注。因此，量化有关受塑料碎片影响的生物体的知识状态对于了解对海洋物种的威胁极为重要。在此背景下，本研究旨在通过在 Web of Science、Scopus 和 Scielo 数据库上进行的科学计量分析，使用关键字和布尔值的组合，审查和量化已公布的海洋鱼类物种与塑料废物相互作用的数据。运营商。尽管 Agnatha、Holocephali 和 Sarcopterygii 没有结果，但这项调查记录了 116 份文件，报告了 310 种硬骨鱼类和 33 种 Elasmobranch 的高摄入量和低纠缠相互作用。结果表明，2012 年之后知识产出增加，报告了分布在全球各地的各种碎片颜色、形状和材料，但在东北大西洋、地中海和黑海进行了更大的研究工作。这项研究为未来的评估、收集信息和寻求更好地了解有关这些碎片的问题提供了分析、观点和建议，这些碎片是对世界海洋动物群的另一种威胁。
