  abstract = {{M}arine plastic pollution has become a prominent environmental issue in the recent years. {P}lastic ingestion is of special concern, as its magnitude and consequences for marine organisms and potentially humans are still largely unknown. {W}e reviewed 93 papers on plastic ingestion by wild marine fish published since 1972. {P}lastic ingestion was detected in 323 (65%) of 494 examined fish species, and in 262 (67%) of 391 examined commercial fish species. {T}hese proportions are likely greater, as a detailed analysis of the sampling effort and analytical methods used in the reviewed studies suggests an underestimation of plastic ingestion in some assessments. {A} significant positive relationship ({R} = + 0.845, p = 0.004) was found between the sample size up to {N} = 10 and the detection of plastic ingestion. {W}e also found significant differences in detection and frequency of occurrence ({FO}, %) of plastic ingestion among the three main types of analytical methods: naked-eye, microscopic analysis and chemical digestion. {T}he chemical digestion method, which is also the most robust laboratory method, had the greatest detection (86%) and the highest {FO} (37.6 +/- 0.6%). {T}o avoid the underestimation of plastic ingestion in future work, we provided recommendations for sample sizes and laboratory analysis.},
