Analisis Mikroplastik Pada Kerang Kijing (Pilsbryoconcha exilis) Di Sungai Perancak, Jembrana, Bali
Summary
This Indonesian study examined microplastic contamination in freshwater mussels (Pilsbryoconcha exilis) from the Peranap River, finding that plastic debris in the river was a major source of microplastic exposure for these filter-feeding animals. The results raise concerns about microplastic accumulation in organisms consumed by local communities.
Sampah plastik merupakan sumber sekunder dari mikroplastik. Ukuran mikroplastik yang sangat kecil dapat menyerupai plankton dan mikroorganisme lainnya, sehingga berpotensi termakan oleh biota laut yang bersifat pasif seperti kerang. Mikroplastik yang terkandung dalam biota akan terakumulasi dan menyebabkan berbagai macam dampak. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisa dan mengidentifikasi mikroplastik pada kerang Kijing ( Pilsbryoconcha exilis ) di Sungai Perancak, Bali. Analisa dan identifikasi dilakukan dengan 4 tahapan, yaitu preparasi sampel, perlakuan hidrogen peroksida, pemisahan massa jenis dan identifikasi mikroplastik secara visual. Hasil dari penelitian ini, ditemukan mikroplastik jenis fiber dan film pada sampel kerang. Mikroplastik jenis fiber paling banyak ditemukan pada sampel dibandingkan mikroplastik jenis film. Plastik waste is a secondary source of microplastics. The very small size of microplastics can resemble plankton and other microorganisms, so that they have the potential to be eaten by passive marine biota such as shellfish. Microplastics contained in biota will accumulate and cause various kinds of impacts. This research was conducted to analyze and identify microplastics in shellfish ( Pilsbryoconcha exilis ) in the Perancak River, Bali. Analysis and identification were carried out in 4 stages, namely sample preparation, hydrogen peroxide treatment, density separation and visual identification of microplastics. The results of this study, found microplastic types of fiber and film in the shell samples. Fiber type microplastics are mostly found in samples compared to film type microplastics.

Identifikasi Mikroplastik pada Kijing Taiwan (Anodonta woodina) dan Sedimen di Kali Surabaya
Researchers identified microplastics in Taiwan freshwater mussels (Anodonta woodina) and sediment collected from five stations along the Surabaya River in Indonesia using stereo microscopy. The study focused on this filter-feeding bivalve species commonly consumed by local communities, examining microplastic types and abundance in both the organisms and surrounding sediment.
Literature Review: Mikroplastik Pada Berbagai Jenis Kerang Serta Dampak Terhadap Kesehatan
This Indonesian literature review examined microplastic contamination in various shellfish species and its potential health impacts on consumers. Shellfish are filter feeders that accumulate microplastics from their surroundings, making them a direct route of human exposure through seafood consumption.
THE RELATIONSHIP OF MICROPLASTIC ABUNDANCE IN GREEN MUSSEL Perna viridis AND THE WATERS OF MANGKANG BEACH, SEMARANG
A study of green mussels (Perna viridis) farmed in a coastal area of Semarang, Indonesia found microplastics in both the surrounding water and mussel tissue, with statistical analysis confirming a significant relationship between water contamination levels and mussel body burden. Because green mussels are widely consumed locally, this finding highlights a direct pathway for microplastic exposure through seafood in the region.
