Researchers investigated microplastic exposure in marine fish from a tourism area in Makassar City, Indonesia, finding microplastics in fish digestive tracts with fragments and filaments predominating, indicating that plastic pollution has entered local marine food chains in a heavily visited coastal zone.
Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Saluran Pencernaan Ikan Di Ppi Selili Samarinda Kalimantan Timur
Researchers examined the digestive tracts of five commercially important fish species caught at a fish landing site in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, and found microplastics in all of them, with fibres and fragments being the most common types. This documents microplastic contamination in seafood from Indonesian waters and raises concerns about human dietary exposure through fish consumption.
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 accumulation in fish from Zhanjiang mangrove wetland, South China
Microplastics were found in multiple fish species collected from Zhanjiang mangrove wetlands in South China, with contamination levels and particle types varying by species and feeding behavior. The study highlights how microplastics accumulate in fish living in mangrove ecosystems and enter coastal food chains.
Characterization of microplastic in trawl fish caught in Padang City (Indonesia) coastal area
Researchers characterized microplastics found in trawl fish caught along the coastal waters of Padang City, Indonesia, documenting the types, abundance, and potential carcinogenic risk posed by microplastic contamination in commercially important fish species.
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.
The pervasiveness of microplastic contamination in the gastrointestinal tract of fish from the western coast of Bangladesh
Researchers found microplastics in every individual fish examined from the western coast of Bangladesh, with an average of 7.1 particles per specimen, and demersal species accumulating more microplastics than pelagic species near the world's largest mangrove ecosystem.
Microplastics accumulation in sediments and Periophthalmus waltoni fish, mangrove forests in southern Iran
Researchers quantified microplastic contamination in sediments and mudskipper fish from mangrove forests in southern Iran. They found over 2,600 plastic particles across samples, with higher concentrations at high-tide collection points, and fibers being the most common particle shape. The study demonstrates that mangrove ecosystems serve as sinks for microplastic pollution, with evidence of particle accumulation in fish tissues raising concerns about food web contamination.
Microplasticcontaminationincommercial marine fish: A case study in Johor, Malaysia
Researchers examined four species of commercially important marine fish from waters around Johor, Malaysia, and found microplastics present in the flesh of all species sampled. Fibers and fragments were the most common particle types, with polypropylene and polyethylene being the dominant polymers identified. The findings raise concerns about human dietary exposure to microplastics through commonly consumed fish in the region.
Abundance and characteristics of microplastics in commercial marine fish from Malaysia
Microplastics were found in the digestive tracts of eight commercially important marine fish species caught in Malaysian waters, with prevalence and particle types varying by species and location. The study raises food safety concerns for Malaysian seafood consumers and highlights the widespread occurrence of microplastic ingestion in wild-caught fish from Southeast Asian seas.
Microplastics occurrence in water, sediment and edible small indigenous fish species in seasonal freshwater wetland ecosystems of Bangladesh
Researchers found microplastics in the guts, gills, and muscle tissue of three commonly eaten fish species from seasonal wetlands in Bangladesh. Dried fish contained more microplastics than fresh fish, suggesting that the drying process concentrates plastic particles. Since these small fish are a dietary staple for local communities and are often eaten whole, this represents a direct pathway for microplastic exposure in human diets.
Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Ikan Pelagis Dan Demersal Yang Didaratkan Di Pelabuhan Perikanan Banjar Raya Banjarmasin Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in both pelagic and demersal fish landed at a fishing port in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, finding an average of 8.3 microplastic particles per pelagic individual and 5.1 per demersal individual with moderate overall pollution levels. Fibres and fragments were the dominant forms detected. These findings demonstrate that commercially caught fish in Indonesian waters carry microplastics into the human food supply.
Identification of the composition and abundance of microplastics in the digestive tract of fish in the Banjaran River, Banyumas District

Tracing microplastics in marine fish: Ecological threats and human exposure in the Bay of Bengal
Researchers analyzed microplastics in nine fish species from the Bay of Bengal, finding an average of about 33 microplastic items per fish, mostly fibers. Bottom-dwelling and meat-eating fish had higher contamination levels, and the pollution was linked to untreated industrial and municipal waste. The study raises concerns about human health exposure through seafood consumption in a region where millions of people depend on fishing for food and livelihood.

Unveiling Microplastics in Commercial Brackish Water Fishes from the Lower Meghna River Estuary of Bangladesh
Researchers found microplastics in the digestive tracts of three commonly eaten fish species from the Meghna River estuary in Bangladesh, with one species averaging nearly 23 particles per fish. Fibers were the dominant shape, and several of the plastic types identified scored high on a polymer hazard index. Since these fish are a dietary staple for local populations, the study highlights a direct route of microplastic exposure for millions of people in Bangladesh.
