Analysis of Microplastic Abundance in the Digestive Tract of Fish Caught by Fishermen in the Pangempang Waters of East Kalimantan Province
Summary
Researchers analyzed the abundance and types of microplastics in the digestive tracts of fish caught by fishermen in Pangempang Waters, East Kalimantan, and investigated the relationship between fish body size and microplastic content.
Mikroplastik merupakan polutan berukuran < 5 mm yang umum ditemukan di sedimen, perairan dan biota perairan. Mikroplastik dapat masuk ke tubuh biota laut, salah satunya ikan. Pada saat ikan terpapar mikroplastik dikonsumsi manusia secara berlebihan mungkin dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis jenis dan kelimpahan mikroplastik pada saluran pencernaan ikan hasil tangkapan nelayan di perairan Pangempang, Muara Badak, Kalimantan Timur. Hubungan antara ukuran ikan dengan kandungan mikroplastik juga dinvestigasi di penelitian ini. Sampel ikan terdiri dari enam spesies ikan (bandeng, baronang, gerot - gerot, kakap, kue dan trakulu) yang dikumpulkan menggunakan metode random sampling. Analisis mikroplastik dilakukan melalui proses destruksi organik dengan H2O2 dan FeSO4, diikuti identifikasi mikroskopis. Ditemukan bahwa semua saluran pencernaan ikan mengandung mikroplastik, dengan jenis dominan adalah fiber (97,4%), diikuti film dan fragmen. Ikan baronang memiliki kelimpahan mikroplastik tertinggi (11,0 partikel/individu), sedangkan kakap bakau terendah (2,33 partikel/individu). Rata-rata kelimpahan pada omnivora (8,125) partikel/individu) lebih tinggi dibanding karnivora (5,2 partikel/individu). Terdapat hubungan yang sangat lemah antara ukuran (panjang dan berat) ikan dengan kelimpahan mikroplastik (r<0,3; p>0,05 pada omnivora, p<0,05 pada karnivora).

Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Saluran Pencernaan Ikan Di Ppi Selili Samarinda Kalimantan Timur
Researchers examined the digestive tracts of five commercially important fish species caught at a fish landing site in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, and found microplastics in all of them, with fibres and fragments being the most common types. This documents microplastic contamination in seafood from Indonesian waters and raises concerns about human dietary exposure through fish consumption.

Five commercially important marine fish species from the Pangempang Estuary in Indonesia were examined for microplastic ingestion, with particles found in the digestive organs of all species tested.
Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Ikan Pelagis Dan Demersal Yang Didaratkan Di Pelabuhan Perikanan Banjar Raya Banjarmasin Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in both pelagic and demersal fish landed at a fishing port in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, finding an average of 8.3 microplastic particles per pelagic individual and 5.1 per demersal individual with moderate overall pollution levels. Fibres and fragments were the dominant forms detected. These findings demonstrate that commercially caught fish in Indonesian waters carry microplastics into the human food supply.
