and _Bathochordaeus_ individuals in the Hatoma Knoll hydrothermal vent, Okinawa Trough.
- Oikopleuridae have been reported to be able to ingest microplastics. Example(s):
_B. stygius_ ([[Katija and coll., 2017b|biblio/28835922]]).
+ - O. dioica can filter, ingest and defecate the Emiliania huxleyi virus
+ ([[Lawrence and coll., 2017|biblio/10.1002_lno.10734]]). This study does not assess
+ whether the viruses are digested.
