Microplastic contamination of sea water and selected fish species from the coast of Ghana, West Africa
Microplastic contamination of sea water and selected fish species from the coast of Ghana, West Africa
This data reports the type and photochemical characteristics of microplastic found in two fish species (Illisha fish and Sardinella sp) and seawater samples from four stations ( Denu, Tema, Cape Coast and Sekondi) along the coast of Ghana, West Africa. Samples were collected in September 2021. The dataset contains: 1. the types and photochemical characteristics of microplastics 2. metadata associated with the research
