ANALISIS KELIMPAHAN MIKROPLASTIK PADA SALURAN PENCERNAAN KERANG DARAH (Anadara granosa) DI PERAIRAN SUNGSANG, KABUPATEN BANYUASIN SUMATERA SELATAN
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian study analyzed microplastic abundance in the digestive tract of blood cockles from Sungsang waters in South Sumatra. Microplastics were found in the bivalves, raising food safety concerns given that cockles are widely consumed in the region.
The increased use of plastic waste can cause pollution to the aquatic environment. Plastic waste in waters takes a very long time to degrade into small plastic particles called microplastics. Microplastics can enter the body of biota and cause blockages in the digestive system. This study aims to analyze the types of microplastics and the abundance of microplastics in the digestive tract of Anadara granosa. Samples of clams were purchased at the market of Sungsang Village, which came from Sungsang Waters, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. Microplastic analysis was performed using an Olympus CX23 microscope and FT-IR test. The results of this study indicate that the types of microplastics found in A. granosa include 250 particles of film, 133 particles of fiber and 38 particles of fragments. The average abundance of microplastics in A. granosa was 29,01 particles/gram (wet weight of the digestive tract). The types of microplastic polymers found are LDPE (Low-density Polyethylene), PE (Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), PA (Polymide), and PS (Polysterene) Keywords: Microplastic, Anadara granosa, Polymer, Sungsang Waters

Researchers identified microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) from Tanjung Tiram in Ambon Bay, Indonesia, finding 360 fiber particles and 61 fragment particles in examined specimens. The presence of microplastics in this commercially consumed shellfish raises concerns about chemical transfer to both marine biota and human consumers.

Researchers detected microplastics in blood cockle (Anadara granosa) samples collected at the Lempasing coastal fishing port in Indonesia, characterizing particle abundance, morphology, and composition in this commercially harvested bivalve species amid Indonesia's significant marine plastic pollution challenge.
Keberadaan mikroplastik pada kerang darah (Anadara granosa) dari TPI Tambak Lorok, Semarang
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers in Semarang, Indonesia, found microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) sold at a local fish market, with fibers and fragments being the most common types identified under microscopy. The study also tested whether washing the shellfish before analysis affected results, finding contamination was present regardless. Because blood cockles are a widely consumed seafood in the region and are filter feeders that concentrate particles from the water column, this finding signals a direct route for microplastic ingestion by local populations.
