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.

Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in the gastrointestinal tracts and gills of eight commercial fish species from coastal Guangdong, China. They found an average of 6.6 microplastic particles per fish, with fibers under 1 mm being the most common type, and noted that herbivorous and omnivorous fish accumulated more microplastics in their digestive systems than carnivorous species.
Abundance and Distribution of Microplastics in Fish by Trophic Level in Kupang Bay, Indonesia
Researchers surveyed microplastic abundance in fish from Kupang Bay, Indonesia across herbivore and carnivore trophic levels and multiple organs (GIT, gills, muscle), finding carnivores accumulated more microplastics than herbivores and gills showed the highest concentrations.
Identification of the composition and abundance of microplastics in the digestive tract of fish in the Banjaran River, Banyumas District
Researchers identified and quantified microplastic composition and abundance in digestive tract contents of wild-caught fish from a coastal fishery, documenting ingestion rates, polymer types, and particle morphologies across multiple commercially important species.
Microplastic contained in gill, stomach and intestine of milkfish (Chanos chanos) and chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) at Rau Market, Serang City, Banten
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in the gills, stomachs, and intestines of milkfish and chub mackerel from an Indonesian market, finding microplastic particles present across all organs in both commercially important fish species.
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 respiratory and digestive systems of selected fish from Banten Bay, Indonesia
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in seven fish species from Banten Bay, Indonesia, and found microplastics in every fish sampled. Concentrations were significantly higher in gills than in the digestive tract, and nine distinct polymer types were identified including polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC. The findings highlight how microplastics in fish can enter the food chain, with potential implications for both aquatic ecosystems and human health.
Evidence of microplastics accumulation in the gills and gastrointestinal tract of fishes from an estuarine system in Ghana
Researchers examined the gills and digestive tracts of 10 fish species from an estuary in Ghana and found microplastics present in all species studied. Fibers were the most common microplastic shape, and the gills contained nearly as many particles as the digestive tract, indicating multiple uptake pathways. The findings add to growing evidence that microplastic contamination in fish is widespread across West African coastal waters.
Microplastic abundance in sea cucumber at seagrass ecosystem of Bintan Island and surrounding area, Indonesia
Researchers found microplastic contamination in sea cucumbers across seagrass ecosystems of Bintan Island, Indonesia, with the highest abundance of 52 particles/individual recorded in Pengudang waters, and fiber-type microplastics dominating at 84 particles/individual across all three harvested species.
Microplastics abundance in four different species of commercial fishes in Bali Strait
Four commercially important fish species in the Bali Strait, Indonesia all contained microplastics in their gastrointestinal tracts, with fragments and fibers being most common. As these fish are widely consumed, this raises concerns about microplastic transfer to humans through the seafood supply chain.
Identification of Microplastics in Three Fish Species in Tondano Lake, Minahasa, Indonesia
Researchers examined microplastic presence in the gills and gastrointestinal tracts of three fish species from Tondano Lake, North Sulawesi (mujair, payangka baru, payangka lama), finding contamination in all species with mujair showing the highest abundance and fibers being the most prevalent type.
Characteristics of Microplastics in Water and Fish and Their Relationship with Migration from the East Coast of Surabaya, Indonesia
Researchers characterized microplastic contamination in water and fish from the East Coast of Surabaya, Indonesia, finding approximately 0.46 particles/L in water with fragments (79.9%) and black-colored particles (20-40 µm) dominant, and detecting MPs in gills and digestive tracts of eight fish species.
Contamination of microplastics in Brantas River, East Java, Indonesia and its distribution in gills and digestive tracts of fish Gambusia affinis
Researchers sampled water, gills, and digestive tracts of fish in Indonesia's Brantas River and found microplastics in all three, with fragments under 0.1 mm making up the majority — demonstrating that river fish are actively ingesting microplastics that then accumulate in their bodies.
Occurrence, distribution and characteristics of microplastics in gastrointestinal tract and gills of commercial marine fish from Malaysia
Researchers examined 158 commercial marine fish from 16 species in Malaysia and found microplastics in the gastrointestinal tracts and gills of all species studied. Fibers were the most common microplastic type, and the contamination levels varied between sampling locations. The findings add to growing evidence that microplastics are widespread in commercially important fish species, raising questions about the potential for human exposure through seafood consumption.
Deposition characteristics of microplastics in coral reef fish with different feeding habits from the Xisha Islands Waters, South China Sea
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in the gills and gastrointestinal tracts of 96 coral reef fish from the South China Sea, finding that nearly 98% of sampled fish contained microplastics. Fibers were the most common shape, with most particles smaller than 1 mm, and the predominant polymers were PET, PE, and PP. The study found that herbivorous fish had higher microplastic content than omnivorous or carnivorous species, likely because they feed primarily on microplastic-polluted coral reefs.
Microplastic contamination in fish harvested from the estuarine mangrove forest of Banda Aceh City, Indonesia
Microplastics were detected in both the digestive tracts and flesh of three fish species — mullet, glassfish, and mudskipper — caught from mangrove forest waters of Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. All three species showed contamination, with mudskippers having the highest particle counts, and the plastic fragments were traced to domestic and industrial waste sources. The presence of microplastics in the edible flesh of these fish is particularly concerning since they are consumed locally, representing a direct route of human exposure through seafood.
