HUBUNGAN KELIMPAHAN MIKROPLASTIK DENGAN KERUSAKAN HISTOPATOLOGIS PADA INSANG DAN USUS UDANG VANAME (Litopenaeus vannamei) YANG DIBUDIDAYAKAN DI TAMBAK DI PROBOLINGGO, JAWA TIMUR, INDONESIA
Summary
This Indonesian study examined correlations between microplastic abundance in gills and intestines of farmed whiteleg shrimp and histopathological damage scores, finding a significant positive correlation — higher microplastic loads were associated with greater tissue damage in both organs.
Peningkatan kontaminasi mikroplastik di lingkungan tambak menjadi ancaman serius bagi kesehatan udang vaname (Litopenaeus vannamei). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kelimpahan mikroplastik pada insang dan usus dengan tingkat kerusakan histopatologis udang vaname yang dibudidayakan di tambak yang berlokasi di Probolinggo, Jawa Timur, Indonesia. Penelitian dilakukan secara deskriptif kuantitatif menggunakan analisis korelasi Spearman. Sampel udang diambil dari tiga lokasi tambak dan dianalisis secara histologis untuk menilai skor kerusakan jaringan. Hasil menunjukkan korelasi sangat kuat dan signifikan antara kelimpahan mikroplastik dengan skor kerusakan insang (r = 0,815; p-value = 0,007), degenerasi usus (r = 0,885; p-value = 0,002), nekrosis (r = 0,804; p-value = 0,009), dan inflamasi (r = 0,688; p-value = 0,041). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa mikroplastik berkontribusi besar terhadap kerusakan struktural organ respirasi dan pencernaan udang. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya pengelolaan pencemaran mikroplastik dalam sistem budidaya berkelanjutan. The increasing presence of microplastic contamination in shrimp ponds poses a serious threat to the health of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). This study aimed to analyze the relationship between microplastic abundance in gills and intestines with the level of histopathological damage in whiteleg shrimp cultivated in ponds located in Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia. A quantitative descriptive method was used with Spearman correlation analysis. Shrimp samples were collected from three pond locations and histologically examined to assess tissue damage scores. The results showed a very strong and significant correlation between microplastics abundance and gill damage (r = 0.815; p-value = 0.007), intestinal degeneration (r = 0.885; p-value = 0.002), necrosis (r = 0.804; p-value = 0.009), and inflammation (r = 0.688; p-value = 0.041). These findings indicated that microplastics significantly contribute to structural damage in the respiratory and digestive organs of shrimp. This study highlighted the importance of effectively managing microplastic pollution in sustainable aquaculture systems.

Accumulation and damage of polyethylene-microplastics to the digestive system of juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp exposed through feed
Researchers fed juvenile Pacific white shrimp diets containing polyethylene microplastics at varying concentrations for 28 days. While survival and growth were not affected, microplastics accumulated in the digestive system and caused tissue damage to the hepatopancreas and intestine, suggesting that even without visible growth effects, microplastic ingestion can cause internal harm to commercially important crustacean species.
Microplastic Analysis in Vannamei Shrimp Ponds in Kandang Semangkon Village, Paciran, Lamongan, East Java, Indonesia
Researchers analysed the abundance, types, and colours of microplastics in water and shrimp tissue at vannamei shrimp ponds in East Java, Indonesia, and examined the relationship between total suspended solids and microplastic presence across two sampling stations.
Microplastic study on (litopenaeus vannamei) cultivation enterprises on the east coast of aceh
Researchers sampled vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) from three cultivation stations on Aceh's east coast (Pidie, Pidie Jaya, and Bireuen) and analyzed microplastic content using H2O2/H2SO4 digestion and microscopy at 40x magnification. They found fiber and film microplastics in all shrimp samples, with the highest count (13 particles) at the Pidie station, indicating microplastic contamination has entered commercial aquaculture supply chains.
Characterization of Microplastic Contamination of Whiteleg Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) Cultivation in North Lombok, Indonesia
Researchers characterized microplastic contamination in farmed whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), measuring particle abundance, size distribution, polymer types, and potential human dietary exposure through shrimp consumption. Microplastics were found throughout shrimp tissues, with implications for seafood safety.
