The abundance and characteristics of microplastics in different organs of both wild and farmed milkfish (Chanos chanos) from Madura, Indonesia
AI summary Read the abstract
Milkfish (a popular food fish in Indonesia) from ponds and coastal waters were found to have tiny plastic particles, mostly small fibers, in their gills, stomachs, and intestines, with pond-raised fish showing the highest levels. The plastics also carried chemical additives like plasticizers and lubricants, meaning that eating these fish could expose people to both microplastics and the chemicals attached to them, though this study didn't directly test human health effects.
The Presence of Microplastics in Water, Sediment, and Milkfish (Chanos chanos) at the Downstream Area of Citarum River, Indonesia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found microplastics in the water, sediment, and flesh of milkfish in Indonesia's heavily industrialized Citarum River, showing that plastic particles are moving through the food chain in a river that supports nearly 19 million people — meaning residents may be consuming microplastics through their local fish supply.
Microplastics in Aquaculture Systems and Their Transfer in the Food Chain
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics accumulate throughout aquaculture systems — the fish farms that produce much of the world's seafood — and traced how these particles move up the food chain to reach human consumers, raising concerns about the safety of farmed seafood.
Microplastic Contamination in Aquaculture: Sources, Ecological Effects, and Future Solutions
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the sources and ecological impacts of microplastic contamination in aquaculture systems, finding that plastic particles under 5 mm originate from multiple aquaculture inputs and raise serious concerns for environmental sustainability and the safety of seafood for human consumption.
