Microplastics analysis in the gills and gastrointestinal tract of fishermen’s catch at Belawan River North Sumatera, Indonesia
Researchers analyzed microplastics in the gills and gastrointestinal tracts of 93 fish specimens across five species collected from Belawan River, North Sumatra, finding 134 total microplastic particles dominated by fibers, fragments, and films in colors including black, green, blue, orange, brown, and red, with Plotosus canius showing the highest abundance at 12 particles per individual.
Microplastics (MPs) accumulation in two edible marine fish species sourced from the Bay of Bengal: Contamination level and risk assessment
Researchers measured microplastic contamination in two commonly eaten fish species from the Bay of Bengal, examining both gills and digestive tracts. Microplastics were found in all fish studied, with differences in accumulation based on the species' feeding habits and where they live in the water column. Since these fish are widely consumed by local populations, the findings raise concerns about human microplastic intake through seafood.
Microplastic contained in gill, stomach and intestine of milkfish (Chanos chanos) and chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) at Rau Market, Serang City, Banten
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in the gills, stomachs, and intestines of milkfish and chub mackerel from an Indonesian market, finding microplastic particles present across all organs in both commercially important fish species.
