Corrigendum to “Microplastic in the gastrointestinal tract of fishes along the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast” (Marine Pollution Bulletin (2018) 131(PA) (407–415), (S0025326X18302625) (10.1016/j.marpolbul.2018.04.040))

The authors regret < The following list provides a description of the changes that need to be done. Page 407: In the abstract of the manuscript, the following sentence needs to be corrected: “The grouper (Epinephelus spp.) sampled at Jazan registered the highest number of ingested microplastics. This fish species is benthic and feeds on benthic invertebrates.” • It should be “Parascolosps eriomma species sampled at Jazan registered the highest number of ingested microplastic. This fish species is benthic and feeds on benthic invertebrates.”Page 412: In the seventh sentence of the results, the following text appears “The highest number of ingested microplastics per individual was observed in Parascolopsis eriomma, a species feeding on benthic invertebrates in muddy and sandy offshore sediments” • This should read “The highest number of ingested microplastics was observed in Parascolosps eriomma, of the 5 individuals analysed, 3 individuals (60%) had ingested plastic particles.”Page 412: In the tenth sentence of the results, the following text appears: “One of the samples from Jazan had ingested 3 particles consisting of 2 films (e.g. bags, wrapper, or part of them), and 1 fishing thread (including those released from nets).” This should read “This species from Jazan had, in total, ingested 3 particles consisting of 2 films (e.g. bags, wrapper, or part of them), and 1 fishing thread (including those released from nets).” Page 412: In the twelfth sentence of the results, the following text appears: “Within a species, the highest prevalence of microplastic ingestion (>20% of individuals) was found in the groupers (Epinephelus spp.) and the blackspotted rubberlip (Plectorhinchus gaterinus).” This should read “The highest prevalence of microplastic ingestion (>20% of individuals) was found in the following species: Parascolopsis eriomma, Epinephelus chlorostigma, Plectorhinchus gaterinus and Lipochelius carnolabrum (Table 2)) Table 2, column headed “Number of microplastic found in stomach per species”. Action to be taken: • The whole column must be removed.Table 2, column headed “% Ingestion”. Action to be taken: All the “100” in this column should be replaced by “10”. Table 2, row 29“Average by the total number of fishes by species”. Action to be taken: • Change the title to “Average number of microplastic particles per species”The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
