Karakteristik mikroplastik pada ikan layang (Decapterus ruselli) dan ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus) di Pasar Rau, Kota Serang
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian study detected microplastics in the digestive tracts of two common fish species — mackerel and tilapia — sold at a local market. The presence of plastics in both marine and freshwater fish raised concerns about consumer exposure through seafood consumption.
Mikroplastik dapat mencemari air, tanah, tumbuhan, hewan, hingga manusia. Sumber limbahmikroplastik di perairan tawar antara lain dari industri, pertanian, dan aktivitas antropogenik dimana keseluruhannya dapat menjadi sumber pencemaran mikroplastik di laut. Ikan nila(Oreochromis niloticus) dan ikan layang (Decapterus ruselli) merupakan ikan omnivora yanghidup di kolom air, di mana ikan nila dibudidayakan di perairan tawar sedangkan ikan layangditangkap di laut. Proses identifikasi mikroplastik menggunakan mikroskop. Sebanyak 158mikroplastik telah ditemukan pada insang, lambung, dan usus ikan nila, sedangkan sebanyak 411mikroplastik pada insang, lambung, dan usus ikan layang. Jumlah mikroplastik jenis fragmen padainsang, lambung, dan usus ikan mendominasi, berasal dari fragmentasi plastik bahan polipropilendan polietilen. Jenis mikroplastik terbanyak kedua adalah fiber, dikenali dari bentuknya yangpanjang dan menyerupai tali atau benang berasal dari serat jaring serta peralatan rumah tangga.Pada ikan, mikroplastik jenis fiber dapat menggumpal atau membetuk simpul yang dapatmemblokir saluran pencernaan dan menghalangi jalan masuknya makanan. Mikroplastik jenis filmditemukan dengan jumlah yang paling sedikit pada ketiga organ ikan yang di analisis. Jenis inidiidentifikasi sebagai polimer polietilen yang berbentuk lembaran tipis hasil degradasi plastikkemasan, memiliki densitas paling rendah dari tipe mikroplastik lainnya.

Analysis of Microplastic Content in Milkfish (Chanos chanos) and Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Ciruas Market, Serang Regency
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tested milkfish and tilapia sold at a local market in Indonesia and found that every single fish sample contained microplastics, tiny plastic fragments, mostly thread-like fibers, made from materials like polypropylene, nylon, and polystyrene. Since these fish are common food sources, this suggests people eating them may unknowingly be consuming small amounts of plastic too, raising questions about long-term health effects that scientists are still working to fully understand.

Indonesian researchers analyzed microplastics in the digestive tracts of mackerel fish landed at Belawan fishing port, examining both the characteristics of particles and their relationship to fish size. The presence of microplastics in commercially important fish species represents a direct pathway for human dietary exposure.
