Short summary
This study examines the accumulation of microplastics on wild and cultured mussels through a dynamic energy budget model, resulting in a comparable contamination level but different cleaning time for the mussels. Our main findings highlight that microplastics contamination is strongly dependent on the variability of specific environmental aspects and improve the knowledge of the transport and accumulation of microplastics in the mussels, enlightening future work on a biomagnification scenario.
