IDENTIFIKASI TIPE DAN KELIMPAHAN MIKROPLASTIK PADA IKAN NILA (Oreochromis niloticus) DI WADUK LAHOR KABUPATEN MALANG JAWA TIMUR
Summary
This Indonesian-language study examined microplastic contamination in the digestive tracts of Nile tilapia farmed in Lahor Reservoir, East Java, finding plastic particles at multiple sampling stations across the reservoir. Because tilapia is a widely consumed fish in the region, the results point to a direct route through which microplastics — sourced from inflowing rivers and residential areas — can enter the human food chain.
Plastics can be degraded into microplastics and easily to dispersed in waters, including reservoirs as water damming locations. Lahor Reservoir is known to be used as a location for aquaculture, one of which is nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and is fed by the Lekso river, Lahor river, and Dewi river. This certainly increases the potential for microplastic contamination and has a negative impact on aquatic biota and humans. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential for microplastic contamination in the digestive tract of nile tilapia in Lahor Reservoir, Malang Regency, East Java. The study was conducted at 4 sampling stations including Lekso river inlet, Lahor river inlet and Dewi river, Residential area of Karangkates village, and Lahor Tourism Park. 5 Fishes samples were taken at each station and the repetition process was carried out 3 times. Sample preparation with 20 ml of 30% HzO2 solution and 20 ml of 10% KOH. Identification types and abundance of microplastics was carried out with a 40× magnification stereo microscope. The results showed the discovery of several types of microplastics which is fiber, filament, fragment, and film and the highest total abundance value of microplastics was found in the Lahor river inlet and Dewi river at 6.47 particles / individual.

Researchers analyzed the abundance and characteristics of microplastics found in the gill and intestine organs of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) sampled from the Tukad Badung waterway in Bali, Indonesia, finding evidence of microplastic accumulation in both tissue types.
Identifikasi Cemaran Mikroplastik pada Ikan Nila (Oreochromis niloticus) dan Ikan Puyau (Osteochilus vittatus) di Perairan Waduk Benanga, Samarinda
Researchers examined tilapia and puyau fish from the Benanga Reservoir in Samarinda, Indonesia, and found microplastic contamination in all 12 fish samples. A total of 155 microplastic particles were detected across the gills and digestive tracts, with fiber-type particles dominating in both species. The study highlights that plastic waste mismanagement around the reservoir is leading to microplastic accumulation in locally consumed fish.
