ClearMicroplastic 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.
Microplastic ingestion by adult milkfish Chanos chanos (Forsskål, 1775) in aquaculture system: The case of Butuan Bay, Philippines
Researchers examined farmed milkfish from aquaculture cages in Butuan Bay, Philippines, and found microplastics in 97% of the fish sampled. The dominant particle types were fibers and fragments, with colors and polymer types matching common plastic packaging and fishing materials. The study raises concerns about microplastic contamination entering the human food supply through aquaculture in coastal areas with high plastic pollution.

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.
Microplastics in fish culture ponds: abundance, characterization, and contamination risk assessment
Researchers surveyed five types of fish farming ponds in Bangladesh and found microplastics in all sediment and water samples, with higher contamination near industrial areas. The most common microplastics were small fragments and fibers made of polyethylene and polypropylene, likely originating from packaging waste and fishing gear. The findings raise concerns about microplastic contamination in farmed fish that are destined for human consumption.
Microplastics contamination in aquaculture-rich regions: A case study in Gresik, East Java, Indonesia
This study provides the first assessment of microplastic contamination in milkfish aquaculture ponds in Gresik, Indonesia. Researchers found microplastics in both water and sediment across all sampling sites, with fragments, fibers, films, and pellets of various polymer types present, largely linked to human activities surrounding the ponds.

Researchers analyzed the gastrointestinal tracts of seven commercially important fish species from the Bay of Bengal, confirming widespread microplastic contamination dominated by fibers and fragments, with implications for seafood safety.
Occurrence of microplastic particles in Milkfish (Chanos chanos) from brackishwater ponds in Bonto Manai Village, Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Microplastic particles were detected in milkfish (Chanos chanos) from brackishwater ponds in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, raising food safety concerns for this commercially important species farmed near coastal settlements.
Occurrence of microplastics within a freshwater aquaculture system in the Pacific Islands, Viti Levu, Fiji
Researchers quantified microplastics in water, sediment, and fish from a freshwater aquaculture facility in Navua, Fiji, finding consistent concentrations averaging around 3.2 MP/L in water, 2.3 MP/100 g in sediment, and 2.7 MP/fish with fibers dominating all matrices and polypropylene, polyurethane, and nylon as the most common polymers, suggesting shared contamination sources across the facility.
Microplastics in Freshwater Aquaculture Fishpond System in Yichang, China: The Occurrence, Characteristics and Potential Risks
Researchers investigated the occurrence and distribution of microplastics in freshwater aquaculture fishponds in Yichang, China, finding microplastics present in all sampled matrices — water, sediment, fish tissue, and fish feed — with most particles under 1.0 mm in diameter.
Integrated analysis of microplastics origins and impact on prominent aquaculture ecosystems in Bangladesh
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in aquaculture ponds in Bangladesh, finding widespread particles in both the water and farmed fish including tilapia and pangas. Fibers were the most common type, likely from textile and fishing net waste, and the contamination levels posed potential health risks to consumers. Since farmed fish is a major protein source in Bangladesh and many developing countries, these findings highlight a direct pathway for microplastics to reach people through their diet.
Pervasive Microplastic Ingestion by Commercial Fish Species from a Natural Lagoon Environment

Vertical distribution and sediment accumulation of microplastics in coastal aquaculture ponds of Kalanganyar Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia
Researchers evaluated the vertical distribution and sediment accumulation of microplastics in aquaculture ponds in Kalanganyar Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia, sampling water and sediment across inlet channels, pond interiors, and a nearby river. The study found microplastics throughout the water column and in sediments, with distribution patterns reflecting both hydrodynamic transport and local contamination sources.
Abundance, characteristics and variation of microplastics in different freshwater fish species from Bangladesh
Researchers examined 48 freshwater fish from 18 species in Bangladesh and found microplastics in the digestive tracts of over 73% of the fish studied. Fibers were the most common shape, and the plastics were primarily polyethylene and polypropylene-based polymers. Bottom-dwelling fish contained more microplastics than those living higher in the water column, suggesting that contaminated sediments are a significant source of exposure for freshwater species.

Microplastics in aquaculture ponds of Bangladesh: Source attribution, pollution load, and ecological risk assessment
A survey of aquaculture ponds in Bangladesh's Jashore district found significant microplastic contamination in both surface water and sediments, with fibers and fragments being the dominant forms and polyethylene the most common polymer. The study identifies aquaculture ponds as underappreciated microplastic sinks that may pose risks to farmed fish and ultimately to people who eat them. Given Bangladesh's heavy reliance on pond aquaculture for food security, the findings raise important concerns about the safety of locally farmed seafood.
