Dataset for analysis of: Microplastic contamination in the endemic Fiji Maskray (Neotrygon romeoi)
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in the endemic Fiji Maskray (Neotrygon romeoi) using Excel-based data analysis and R scripts, providing the first assessment of microplastic burden in this endemic elasmobranch species from Fijian waters.
Microplastic contamination in the endemic Fiji maskray (Neotrygon romeoi)
Researchers examined 21 Fiji maskrays and found microplastics in over 71% of specimens, with an average of nearly 7 particles per individual. Fragments were the most common shape, and particle sizes ranged from 63 to 500 micrometers. This study provides the first baseline data on microplastic contamination in a batoid species from the South Pacific, highlighting potential exposure concerns for communities that rely on these fish for food.
Microplastic occurrence in 21 coastal marine fish species from fishing communities on Viti Levu, Fiji
Researchers analyzed microplastic ingestion in 184 fish from 21 species across three coastal communities in Fiji and found microplastics in 74% of fish examined. Fibers were the most common particle type at 66%, with polyethylene and polypropylene the dominant polymers. This dataset, the largest of its kind for Fiji, establishes a critical baseline for monitoring plastic pollution in the region's coastal fishing grounds.
Microplastic Contamination in Commercially Important Fish from Labuan Bajo Fish Landing Site, Donggala, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in commercially important fish species from an Indonesian fish landing station, quantifying MP abundance across species and tissues to assess food safety risks associated with consuming locally caught seafood.
MPs in fish species
Researchers compiled a global dataset of microplastic-contaminated fish species spanning thousands of species across six continents, integrating taxonomic, spatial, and ecological dimensions to provide a comprehensive resource for understanding the scope of microplastic ingestion in fish.
