Data set to 'Microplastics in aquaculture - potential impacts on inflammatory processes in Nile tilapia'
This entry is a dataset record associated with a published study on microplastic effects on inflammatory processes in Nile tilapia fish raised in aquaculture. The dataset itself does not contain a narrative abstract.
Microplastics in aquaculture - Potential impacts on inflammatory processes in Nile tilapia
Researchers fed Nile tilapia a diet containing a mixture of four common microplastics and found that the particles triggered inflammatory responses in both adult and juvenile fish. The microplastics activated immune pathways and caused tissue changes in the gut and other organs, with juveniles being more sensitive. Since tilapia is one of the most widely farmed fish in the world, these findings raise concerns about the safety of farm-raised fish exposed to microplastic-contaminated water.
Effects of Microplastics on Gene Expression, Muscular Performance, and Immunological Responses in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): Seasonal and Habitat Variations
Researchers found microplastics in both the gut and muscle tissue of Nile tilapia fish from two sites along the Nile River in Egypt, with contamination levels varying by season and location. The microplastics activated genes linked to muscle wasting, cell death, and inflammation while suppressing growth-related genes, with the worst effects seen during summer months. Since tilapia is a widely consumed fish, these findings raise concerns about microplastic-related damage being passed to humans through the food supply.
Occurrence of Microplastics in the Tissues of Nile Tilapia (Orechromis niloticus) from Zobe Dam, Katsina State, Nigeria
This study found microplastics in the tissues of Nile tilapia cultured in freshwater, with particles identified in gills, intestines, and muscle tissue. The results highlight the potential for microplastic transfer from farmed fish to human consumers.
Effects of Microplastics on the Oxygen Consumption and Histological Changes of the Cultured Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
This study found that microplastic exposure caused tissue damage in the gills and intestines of tilapia fish, with higher concentrations leading to more severe changes. Since tilapia is widely consumed worldwide, these findings raise questions about whether microplastics in farmed fish could affect the quality and safety of the seafood on our plates.
