Identifikasi Mikroplastik pada Ikan Lajang (Decapterus russelli) dan Ikan Tembang (Sardinella fimbriata) di Pangkalan Pendaratan Ikan Oeba Kota Kupang
Summary
Researchers identified and characterized microplastics in the gills and digestive tracts of Indian scad (Decapterus russelli) and fringescale sardinella (Sardinella fimbriata) from Oeba Fish Landing Base in Kupang City, Indonesia, finding fibers and fragments in multiple colors at average abundances of 0.9 particles per individual in Indian scad and 1.4 particles per individual in fringescale sardinella.
Plastic waste in the ocean shows varying abundance at the surface, midwater, and sea floor. As plastic waste remains in the water for longer periods, it breaks down into smaller particels known as microplastic. This research aims to determine the presence, characteristic (shape and color), and abudance of microplastic in the gill and digestive tract organs of Indian scad (Decapterus russelli) and fringescale sardinella (Sardinella fimbriata) obtained from Oeba Fish Landing Base, Kupang City. The organs used were isolated with 10% KOH for 48-72 hours, and after disintegration, observations were made under a microscope. The results showed the presence of microplastics in both the Indian scad and fringescale sardinella. The microplastics found in the gills of the Indian scad included fibers and fragments in black, purple, and transparent colors, while in the digestive tract, fibers and fragments in black and transparent colors were found. The microplastics found in the gills of the fringescale sardinella included fibers and fragments in black, transparent, and green colors, while in the digestive tract, fibers, films, and fragments in black, transparent, and blue colors were found. The abundance of microplastics in the Indian scad was 0.9 particles/ind, consisting of 0.5 particles/ind in the gills and 0.4 particles/ind in the digestive tract. The abundance of microplastics in the fringescale sardinella was 1.4 particles/ind, consisting of 0.9 particles/ind in the gills and 0.5 particles/ind in the digestive tract

Researchers determined the characteristics including shape and color and quantified the abundance of microplastics found in bullet tuna (Auxis rochei) and mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis) collected from the Oeba Fish Landing Site in Kupang, examining fish as vectors of microplastic contamination in poorly managed waste environments.
IDENTIFIKASI MIKROPLASTIK PADA IKAN TONGKOL (Euthynnus affinis) SEBAGAI BIOINDIKATOR DI PERAIRAN TELUK KOTA KUPANG
This Indonesian study examined microplastic contamination in the digestive tracts of tongkol fish (Euthynnus affinis) from two sites in Kupang Bay. Microplastics were found in all 16 sampled fish, with fibers and fragments being the most common shapes, confirming fish as indicators of coastal plastic pollution.
Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Ikan Pelagis Dan Demersal Yang Didaratkan Di Pelabuhan Perikanan Banjar Raya Banjarmasin Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in both pelagic and demersal fish landed at a fishing port in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, finding an average of 8.3 microplastic particles per pelagic individual and 5.1 per demersal individual with moderate overall pollution levels. Fibres and fragments were the dominant forms detected. These findings demonstrate that commercially caught fish in Indonesian waters carry microplastics into the human food supply.
Jenis dan kelimpahan mikroplastik pada ikan kakap merah (Lutjanus malabaricus) di Perairan Teluk Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur
Researchers examined the types and abundance of microplastics found in red snapper (Lutjanus malabaricus) from the waters of Kupang Bay, Indonesia, documenting contamination levels and dominant plastic types present in the gastrointestinal tracts of sampled fish. The study confirms microplastic ingestion in a commercially important reef fish species and identifies anthropogenic inputs from industrial, agricultural, and human activities as key sources.
Identifikasi Mikroplastik Yang Terdapat Pada Beberapa Jenis Ikan Di Perairan Sungai Sangsanga Kelurahan Sarijaya
Researchers identified microplastics in the digestive tracts of three fish species -- Toman (Channa micropeltes), Seluang (Rasbora argyrotaenia), and Nila (Oreochromis niloticus) -- from Sangasanga River in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, finding fiber, fragment, film, and monofilament particle types. Fiber-type microplastics dominated across all species, with size ranges varying by species and particle type.
