Kandungan Mikroplastik pada Saluran Pencernaan Ikan Lemuru Protolan (Sardinella Lemuru) Hasil Tangkapan di Selat Bali
Summary
Microplastics were found in the digestive tracts of lemuru sardines caught in the Bali Strait, Indonesia, indicating plastic contamination has reached this commercially important fish species. The findings raise concerns about human exposure through seafood consumption in the region.
Bali Strait is a waters region with the greatest potential for catching pelagic fish, one of which is lemuru (Sardinella lemuru). The quality of lemuru fish is thought to decrease due to the presence of plastic waste entering from the watershed and empties into the Bali Strait. The plastic waste will floating in the water column, which causes the plastic to be torn apart or degraded by sunlight and form plastic particles called microplastic. The size of microplastic that similar to phytoplankton and zooplankton allow lemuru to accidentally ingest the microplastic. The purpose of this study was to analyze the type of microplastic and calculate microplastic abundance in the digestive tract of lemuru fish (Sardinella lemuru) caught in the Bali Strait. This research was conducted from May to July 2018. Sampling was done by collecting fish landed at the Kedonganan Fish Landing Port. Sample analysis was carried out at the Laboratory of Marine Science, Faculty of Marine Science and Fisheries, Udayana University. The most common type of microplastic contained in the digestive tract of lemuru fish is fiber, which comes from synthetic materials in clothing and also fishing gear such as fishing rods or nets. Microplastic abundance in the digestive tract of lemuru protolan in this study was 1 particle/fish.

Microplastics abundance in four different species of commercial fishes in Bali Strait
Four commercially important fish species in the Bali Strait, Indonesia all contained microplastics in their gastrointestinal tracts, with fragments and fibers being most common. As these fish are widely consumed, this raises concerns about microplastic transfer to humans through the seafood supply chain.
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.
Identification of Microplastic in the Digestive Tracts of Mackerel Tuna, Lemuru and Sea Water from Pangandaran, Indonesia
Researchers examined the digestive tracts of mackerel tuna and lemuru fish from coastal waters in Pangandaran, Indonesia, and found microplastics in both species. Mackerel tuna contained mostly fragment-type microplastics while lemuru had primarily fiber-type particles, with polypropylene and polyester identified as the dominant polymer types. The study highlights the extent of microplastic contamination in commercially important fish species and the potential for human exposure through seafood consumption.
