The Smell of Plastic in the Ocean Could Be Harmful to Wild Life

This is one indication of another way plastic waste in the ocean could be harmful to wild life. It could attract these hermit crabs by way of adative leeching, possibly on the false promise of rotting kinflesh. This study was just looking at them responding to the smell as if it were food. I don't know whether they would actually try tolt get it down the it or not. Maybe there are some arthropods in the ocean that would have some kind of sexual response to plastic attetives.
