ClearThe Presence of Microplastics in the Gills and Gastrointestinal Tract of Mackerel (Rastrelliger Kanagurta Cuvier, 1816) from Jakarta Bay, Indonesia
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in the gills and gastrointestinal tracts of 120 mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) from Jakarta Bay, Indonesia, characterizing particle types, sizes, and colors.

Analysis of abundance of microplastic in fish caught in Percut Waters
Researchers analyzed the abundance of microplastics in fish caught in Percut Waters along the coast of North Sumatra, finding that microplastics have accumulated in fish tissues as a result of anthropogenic activities in the area. The study contributes to understanding the extent of microplastic contamination in coastal fisheries of Indonesia.
Microplastics Contamination in Commercial Fish Landed at Tasikagung Rembang Coastal Fishing Port, Central Java, Indonesia
Researchers examined three commercial fish species (Decapterus sp., Priacanthus tayenus, Nemipterus sp.) landed at a coastal port in Central Java, Indonesia, for microplastics in their gills, digestive tracts, and flesh. Microplastics were detected across tissues and species, with shape, color, size, and polymer composition characterized, contributing to baseline data on MP exposure in Indonesian marine fish.
Microplastic Occurrence in Different Fish Organs from Two Coastal Waters in Java Sea, Indonesia
Researchers assessed microplastic accumulation in the gut and gill tissues of six economically important fish species from Jakarta Bay and Cirebon Bay in Indonesia. They found microplastics present in all samples, with variations in abundance and polymer type across species and locations. The study raises concerns about the potential transfer of microplastics to human consumers through commercially harvested fish in the Java Sea region.
Abundance and Characteristics of Microplastics Found in The Gastrointestinal Tract of Commercial Marine Fish from Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia
Researchers analyzed microplastic abundance and characteristics in the gastrointestinal tracts of commercial marine fish from Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, providing the first data on seafood microplastic contamination from one of the country's major fisheries production centers.
