Javanese Medaka, Oryzias javanicus, an Excellent Model Fish for Microplastic Research in Malaysia and Indonesia
Summary
Researchers propose Javanese medaka (Oryzias javanicus) as a regionally appropriate model organism for microplastic research in Malaysia and Indonesia, citing its local distribution and suitability for both field assessments and controlled laboratory exposure studies in Southeast Asian marine ecosystems.
In recent years, microplastics (MPs) have become a significant threat to marine ecosystems in Southeast Asia, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia. It is crucial to conduct field studies to assess MP status, but laboratory studies are also vital to understand the...
