This study examined microplastic contamination in water and shrimp at different stages of both pond-based and industrial inland aquaculture systems, finding that shrimp accumulated microplastics throughout the production cycle. The results establish shrimp aquaculture as a notable pathway for microplastic transfer into the food supply.

Microplastics (MPs) pollution in the ocean was widely concerned, but the current study on MPs pollution in the mariculture system is relatively lacking. This study researched the MPs pollution characteristics in water and shrimp at different stages of the pond and industrial aquaculture. The study shows that in the same aquaculture stage, MPs abundance in shrimp and water in pond aquaculture mode is higher than that in industrial aquaculture mode. The MPs pollution characteristics in shrimp and water show significant consistency. The hazard index of MPs in pond water and industrial models are 122 (Level Ⅲ) and 540 (Level Ⅲ), respectively, indicating that industrial aquaculture models may suffer from more severe MPs stress. The aquaculture period and mode significantly affected the MPs abundance of water and shrimp, but there was no interaction between the aquaculture period and mode. MPs abundance in shrimp show a significant relationship with the length of crustacean and weight. This study further enhanced the understanding of MPs pollution of water and organisms in different aquaculture modes at different stages, and warned MPs is widely spread in mariculture systems.
