The number of published studies evaluating the effects of microplastics (MPs) in fish has increased in the last decade. However, of the available studies, few have explored the long-term effects of MPs on fish growth and reproduction and have resorted to MPs in the form of μm-sized beads/microspheres. In this study, 6-10 day-old post-hatch medaka (Oryzias latipes) fish were exposed to 50 (i.e. 1X) and 500 (i.e. 10X) μg of heterogeneously sized and irregularly shaped virgin polystyrene (PS) MP particles (200-μm range)/L for 150 days. These concentrations corresponded to respective daily mean values of 247 and 3087 particles/L administered through the diet. The PS MPs dietary exposure resulted in body burdens of 114 and 440 particles/g fish on day 50, and of 78 and 173 particles/g fish on day 100 since the respective exposures to the 1X and the 10X treatments started. The biometric analyses found no incidence of PS MPs ingestion on overall fish growth and development. The histological survey in the 10X group did not reveal alterations in gills or in the digestive tract. Mild alterations in other organs were seen and included increased fluid material in the peritoneal cavity, glomerular and tubular alterations in kidneys, and differences in the diameter of the thyroid follicles and thickness of the follicular epithelial cells. The initial days of the reproductive phase revealed MP-related differences in the number of gravid females, fecundity, and fertilization rates. Overall, these values reverted to normal rates throughout the succeeding days. No significant effects of PS MPs exposure were evidenced on offspring success. The 150-day PS MPs dietary exposure used in this study provided clues of histological effects and a reproduction delay. However, it did not seem to compromise overall growth/thriving and the ongoing reproduction.
