The presence of microplastics in the digestive tract of commercial fishes off Pantai Indah Kapuk coast, Jakarta, Indonesia

Commercial fish from nine species collected at the Pantai Indah Kapuk coast in Jakarta were dissected for microplastics, with 97.13% of 174 fish containing an average of ~12 particles per individual dominated by fibers and fragments of PE, PP, and PS. The study documents near-universal microplastic contamination in urban coastal fisheries in Indonesia with implications for seafood consumers.
