Kelimpahan Mikroplastik Pada Organ Pencernaan Ikan Mujair (Oreochromis mossambicus) di Waduk Malahayu Kabupaten Brebes
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in the digestive organs of Mujair fish (Oreochromis mossambicus) from Malahayu Reservoir in Indonesia, using a potassium hydroxide extraction method followed by microscopy. Microplastics were detected in all 15 sampled fish, raising concerns about contamination in a commercially important freshwater species.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini yakni untuk mengetahui kelimpahan mikroplastik pada Ikan Mujair (Oreochromiss mossambicus). Sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 15 ekor diambil secara Random Sampling dari pedagang ikan di kawasan Waduk Malahayu, Kabupaten Brebes, Jawa Tengah. Ikan Mujair (Oreochromiss mossambicus) diambil organ pencernaannya berupa usus dan lambung untuk diektraksi menggunakan larutan KOH 10% selama 24 jam di dalam waterbath dengan suhu 60 ºС. Sampel kemudian disaring memakai saringan nilon dan diamati dengan mikroskop binokuler. Hasil penelitian menemukan terdapat kandungan PSM (Particle Suspected as Microplastic) pada setiap sampel organ pencernaan Ikan Mujair (Oreochromiss mossambicus). Kelimpahan tertinggi terdapat pada sampel dengan kode M11 sebanyak 7,2 partikel/gram sedangkan kelimpahan terendah pada sampel dengan kode M2 sebanyak 0,5 partikel/gram. Tipe PSM yang ditemukan yaitu 72% fiber, 17% fragmen, dan 11% film. Sumber utama pencemaran PSM berasal dari limbah kegiatan perikanan, pariwisata, dan sampah domestik yang bermuara di Waduk Malahayu.

Identifikasi Cemaran Mikroplastik pada Ikan Nila (Oreochromis niloticus) dan Ikan Puyau (Osteochilus vittatus) di Perairan Waduk Benanga, Samarinda
AI summary Read the abstract
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.
Microplastic contamination in the aquaculture icon Oreochromis mossambicus: Prevalence, characteristics, and comprehensive overview
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated microplastic contamination in the Mozambique tilapia, a widely farmed fish species in India, and found microplastics present in the digestive tracts of sampled fish. The most common types were fibers and fragments made of polyethylene and polypropylene. The study raises concerns about microplastic transfer through aquaculture to human consumers, given the growing importance of tilapia farming and the rising levels of plastic pollution in Indian freshwater systems.

Researchers investigated microplastic contamination in twelve freshwater fish species from aquaculture fishponds in Tanjong Karang, Selangor, Malaysia, using visual examination of gastrointestinal tract contents. Microplastics were detected in 29.2% of fish samples, with prevalence varying by feeding zone, a rate higher than previously documented in comparable regional studies.
