Analysis of microplastic content in milkfish (Chanos chanos) in the Domas Village aquaculture pond, Pontang District, Serang Regency, Banten Province
Summary
Researchers analyzed the abundance, characteristics, and polymer types of microplastics in milkfish (Chanos chanos) from aquaculture ponds in Domas Village, Banten Province, Indonesia, using purposive sampling and descriptive analysis. The study aimed to document microplastic contamination in farmed milkfish as a contribution to understanding polymer pollution in Indonesian aquaculture systems.
This research was conducted in Domas Village, Pontang District, Serang Regency, Banten Province, which is a milkfish farming pond. The purpose of this study was to analyze the abundance of microplastic particles in milkfish, identify the characteristics of microplastic particles in milkfish and identify the types of polymers that make up microplastics. This study aims to provide information about microplastics in milkfish in Domas Village which can be used as a development of science about microplastic pollution. The methods used in sampling are purposive sampling and descriptive analysis in identifying microplastics. The results showed that milkfish samples, sediment and water had been contaminated with microplastics of fiber, film and fragments with different abundances at each station. The highest abundance of microplastics in meat organs had a value of 14 particles/ind of film type at station 2, the highest abundance in water came from film type with a value of 5 particles/ml, and the highest abundance in sediment came from film type with a value of 6 particles/g. The results of the FTIR test conducted showed that there were 2 types of polymers, namely polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). Keywords: FTIR; Microplastic; Milkfish

Identification of Microplastics Content in Sediment, Water and Digestive Channel of Milkfish (Chanos chanos) in Sidoarjo Pond
Researchers quantified microplastics in sediment, water, and the digestive tracts of milkfish (Chanos chanos) from semi-intensive and traditional ponds in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Microplastic abundance was higher in traditional pond sediments (613 particles per 50 g versus 300 in semi-intensive ponds), and fish from traditional ponds contained more particles (9.5 per individual versus 6), with polyamide being the dominant polymer type.

Comparison of microplastic abundance in aquaculture ponds of milkfish Chanos chanos (Forsskål, 1775) at Muara Kamal and Marunda, Jakarta Bay
Microplastics were found in milkfish and in both water and sediment from aquaculture ponds in Jakarta Bay, with fibers and fragments being most common. As milkfish is widely consumed in Indonesia, this contamination is a direct pathway for microplastics to reach people through their diet.

Microplastic Contamination in Fish, Water and Sediment from Milkfish Ponds: Environmental Insights from Kasemen District, Banten Province, Indonesia
Researchers assessed microplastic contamination in the flesh, intestines, stomach, gills, water, and sediment of milkfish from aquaculture ponds in Kasemen District, Banten Province, Indonesia, across six sampling stations. Microplastics were detected in all matrices, with the study providing environmental insights into how household plastic waste entering ponds degrades and accumulates throughout the aquatic food chain.
