ClearCharacteristics, Abundance and Polymer Type of Microplastics in Anadara granosa (Blood Clam) from Coastal Area of Palopo City
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in blood clams collected from coastal waters near Palopo City, Indonesia. As filter feeders, these bivalves are particularly vulnerable to ingesting microplastic particles, and the study documented the abundance and polymer types found in their tissues. The findings raise concerns about human exposure to microplastics through the consumption of commonly harvested shellfish.
Spatial Distribution of Microplastic Contamination in Blood Clams (anadara Granosa) on the Jeneponto Coast, South Sulawesi
Researchers mapped the distribution of microplastic contamination inside blood clams (Anadara granosa) harvested along the Jeneponto coast of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The highest microplastic levels were found in clams from mangrove ecosystems and residential waterways, while river areas showed the lowest contamination. Because blood clams are widely eaten as a daily food source, these findings raise direct concerns about microplastic ingestion by local populations.

Types and Abundance of Microplastics in Meretrix meretrix Clams and Sediments in the Sri Tanjung Coastal Area, Rupat Sub-District, Bengkalis
Researchers identified and quantified microplastics in Meretrix meretrix clams and coastal sediments at Sri Tanjung, Rupat Sub-district, Bengkalis Regency, Indonesia. The study examined microplastic types, size-based abundance differences, and the relationship between clam tissue and sediment microplastic loads in this coastal environment.
Isolation and Analysis of Microplastics in Feather Clams (Anadara antiquata) at Tanjung Luar Fish Landing Base, East Lombok Regency
Researchers isolated and characterized microplastics from feather clam tissues collected at Tanjung Luar fish landing base in East Lombok, Indonesia. Multiple microplastic types were found in the soft tissues of bivalves that are regularly consumed by local communities, raising food safety concerns for this seafood-dependent coastal population.
Microplastic prevalence, diversity and characteristics in commercially important edible bivalves and gastropods in relation to environmental matrices
Researchers assessed microplastic abundance and characteristics in the tissues of commercially important bivalves and gastropods from the southwest coast of India, finding MPs across all five species examined and raising concerns about seafood safety.
Preliminary determination of microplastics in bivalves collected from Phu Yen, central Viet Nam
Researchers conducted a preliminary determination of microplastics in four bivalve species from Phu Yen, central Vietnam, detecting MPs in clams, ark clams, oysters, and green mussels commonly consumed by local populations.

Researchers detected microplastics in blood cockle (Anadara granosa) samples collected at the Lempasing coastal fishing port in Indonesia, characterizing particle abundance, morphology, and composition in this commercially harvested bivalve species amid Indonesia's significant marine plastic pollution challenge.
Microplastic contamination on Anadara granosa Linnaeus 1758 in Pangkal Babu mangrove forest area, Tanjung Jabung Barat district, Jambi
Researchers found microplastics in 100% of blood cockle (Anadara granosa) samples, as well as in sediment and water from a mangrove forest area in Tanjung Jabung Barat, Indonesia, with fiber, fragment, and film types detected at concentrations posing potential food safety concerns.
Microplastics in wild clams harvested from coastal waters of Lamongan, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic contamination in wild clams harvested from coastal waters off Lamongan, Indonesia, finding MPs in all sampled individuals with polyethylene and polypropylene as the dominant polymers. The findings raise concerns for both clam population health and the safety of shellfish consumed locally.
Bivalve Mollusks as Biological Monitoring of Microplastic: A Review of Anadara antiquata and Gafrarium sp. in Indonesia
This Indonesian review examines two bivalve species (Anadara antiquata and Gafrarium sp.) as biological monitors of coastal microplastic contamination, synthesizing evidence that these filter feeders accumulate microplastics from seawater and serve as reliable sentinels for pollution in Indonesian coastal ecosystems.

Risk Analysis of Microplastic Exposure Through Consumption of Anadara Granosa at Coastal Area
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in blood clams from a coastal area in Indonesia, finding 68 microplastic particles across samples, predominantly in line shapes with blue coloring. The risk assessment determined that current exposure levels through clam consumption remain within safe limits, though the study notes that microplastic exposure in humans occurs through multiple routes beyond seafood consumption alone.
Keberadaan mikroplastik pada kerang darah (Anadara granosa) dari TPI Tambak Lorok, Semarang
Researchers in Semarang, Indonesia, found microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) sold at a local fish market, with fibers and fragments being the most common types identified under microscopy. The study also tested whether washing the shellfish before analysis affected results, finding contamination was present regardless. Because blood cockles are a widely consumed seafood in the region and are filter feeders that concentrate particles from the water column, this finding signals a direct route for microplastic ingestion by local populations.
