Current State of Research on the Prevalence of Microplastics in Aquatic Fish and Their Impact on Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination in fish across all seven continents, finding marine fish were studied 2.6 times more than freshwater species, and that microplastics trigger oxidative stress, alter biochemical pathways, and accumulate through biotransformation in fish tissues globally.
Occurrence, bioaccumulation and ecological risk of aquaculture-derived microplastics in coastal waters
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination from aquaculture activities and found that fishing nets, foam buoys, and plastic packaging release large quantities of particles into coastal waters, with aquaculture-derived microplastics accounting for up to 99% of total microplastics at some sites. Cultured seafood consistently showed higher microplastic burdens than wild shellfish, highlighting aquaculture as a major but underestimated pollution source.
Evaluating Microplastic Load in Tissues of Consumable Finfishes from Tamil Nadu Coast, India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination across 13 commercially harvested finfish species from the Tamil Nadu coast of India, quantifying particle loads in edible tissues to assess both ecological exposure levels and the potential for human dietary uptake.
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.
The Presence of Microplastics and Plasticizers in Different Tissues of Mullet (Mugil cephalus) Along the East Java Coast in Indonesia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found microplastics in the gills, stomach, and intestines of mullet fish (Mugil cephalus) from four East Java coastal sites, with gills containing the highest loads (10.87 particles/individual) and pellets smaller than 100 µm dominating, along with plasticizers including the toxic cyclohexadiene. The study shows that coastal fish consumed by humans carry both microplastic particles and their chemical additives through multiple tissues, raising direct food safety concerns.
