Analysis the Abundance and Composition of Microplastics in Skipjack Fish (Katsuwonus pelamis) at Muara Angke Fish Auction
Researchers analyzed the abundance and composition of microplastics in the digestive tracts of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) collected from Muara Angke Fish Auction in Indonesia, using 10% KOH digestion to extract microplastics and assess contamination levels in a commercially important marine species.
Microplastics Ingestion by Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in Ternate, North Maluku - Indonesia
Researchers found microplastics in the digestive tracts of skipjack tuna collected from Indonesian waters, with plastic particles present in most fish examined. Since tuna is widely consumed, the findings raise concerns about human exposure to microplastics through seafood.
Toxic tuna tales: Tracing microplastic pathways in mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis), longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol), and bullet tuna (Auxis rochei)
Researchers examined 125 tuna from three species in Malaysian waters and found microplastics in their digestive tracts, gills, and edible muscle tissue. Fibers were the most common type, and male fish accumulated more microplastics than females. Since tuna is one of the most widely consumed fish globally, the presence of microplastics in edible muscle tissue raises direct concerns about human exposure through seafood.
Microplastic Bioaccumulation in Selected Finfish Species Harvested from Northwest Coastal Waters, Sri Lanka: A Potential Risk to Human Health?
Researchers analyzed microplastic bioaccumulation in edible and non-edible tissues of four finfish species from northwest coastal Sri Lanka, finding that 96% of samples were contaminated with particles in the 0.06-0.11 mm range. Tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) showed the highest MP levels in edible muscle tissue at 1.1 MP/g, raising concerns about human dietary exposure.
Assessment of microplastic contamination in an eastern Pacific tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and evaluation of its health risk implication through molecular docking and metabolomics studies
Researchers found microplastic contamination across multiple organs of skipjack tuna from the Eastern Pacific, with molecular docking and metabolomics analyses revealing potential health risks from microplastic-associated chemical exposure through seafood consumption.
Identification of Microplastic in the Digestive Tracts of Mackerel Tuna, Lemuru and Sea Water from Pangandaran, Indonesia
Researchers examined the digestive tracts of mackerel tuna and lemuru fish from coastal waters in Pangandaran, Indonesia, and found microplastics in both species. Mackerel tuna contained mostly fragment-type microplastics while lemuru had primarily fiber-type particles, with polypropylene and polyester identified as the dominant polymer types. The study highlights the extent of microplastic contamination in commercially important fish species and the potential for human exposure through seafood consumption.
From prey to predators: Evidence of microplastic trophic transfer in tuna and large pelagic species in the southwestern Tropical Atlantic
Researchers found evidence of microplastic trophic transfer from prey to tuna and large pelagic predators in the southwestern Tropical Atlantic, demonstrating that plastic contamination moves through marine food chains to economically important fish species.
Environmental and ecological risk of microplastics in the surface waters and gastrointestinal tract of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) around the Lakshadweep Islands, India
This study assessed microplastic contamination in surface waters and the gastrointestinal tracts of skipjack tuna around the Lakshadweep Islands, India. Researchers found widespread microplastic presence in both environmental and biological samples, indicating that even remote oceanic island ecosystems are affected by plastic pollution.
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.
A Systematic Review of Microplastic Contamination in Tuna Species: General Pathways into the Food Chain with Ecotoxicological and Human Health Perspectives
This systematic review found that tuna species worldwide contain significant levels of microplastics, especially polyethylene and polypropylene, concentrated in their gills and digestive tracts. Since tuna is one of the most widely consumed fish globally, these findings mean that eating tuna is a direct route for microplastic exposure in the human diet.
Occurrence, characteristics and distribution of microplastics in commercial marine fishes of the Bay of Bengal
Scientists found microplastics in the muscles, guts, and gills of six commercially important fish species from the Bay of Bengal, identifying over 7,000 particles total. Polyethylene and polypropylene fibers were the most common types, and tuna had the highest contamination levels. Since these fish are widely consumed by people in the region, the findings highlight a direct dietary exposure pathway for microplastics to reach humans through seafood.
Microplastic contamination in the Skipjack Tuna (Euthynnus affinis) collected from Southern Coast of Java, Indonesia
Researchers examined the digestive tracts of skipjack tuna collected from the southern coast of Java, Indonesia, and found microplastics present in all sampled fish. The most common microplastics were fibers and fragments, primarily made of polyethylene and polypropylene. The findings raise concerns about microplastic contamination in commercially important fish species consumed by humans in the region.
Experimental development of a new protocol for extraction and characterization of microplastics in fish tissues: First observations in commercial species from Adriatic Sea
Researchers developed and tested a new protocol for the extraction and characterization of microplastics from environmental samples, optimizing steps for recovery efficiency and polymer identification accuracy.
MPs in fish species
Researchers compiled a global dataset of microplastic-contaminated fish species spanning thousands of species across six continents, integrating taxonomic, spatial, and ecological dimensions to provide a comprehensive resource for understanding the scope of microplastic ingestion in fish.

Identifikasi Mikroplastik pada Ikan Tongkol Lisong (Auxis Rochei) dan Ikan Tuna Makarel (Euthynnus Affinis) di Pangkalan Pendaratan Ikan (PPI) Oeba, Kupang
Researchers determined the characteristics including shape and color and quantified the abundance of microplastics found in bullet tuna (Auxis rochei) and mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis) collected from the Oeba Fish Landing Site in Kupang, examining fish as vectors of microplastic contamination in poorly managed waste environments.
Microplastics in Fish: A Comprehensive Review
This review synthesizes research on microplastics in fish, covering contamination sources, detection methods, and impacts on wild and farmed populations globally — and examining how plastic particles in fish tissues may transfer to humans through seafood consumption.
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.
Abundance, composition, and potential intake of microplastics in canned fish
Researchers examined canned tuna and mackerel products for microplastic contamination and found plastic particles present in all samples tested. Fibers were the most common particle type, and polymer analysis identified materials consistent with packaging components. The study estimates potential human microplastic intake from canned fish consumption and highlights the need for further investigation into how processing and packaging contribute to seafood contamination.
Literature Review: Identification of Microplastics In Tropical Marine Fish
This literature review examined studies on microplastic identification in tropical marine fish, covering ingestion rates, particle types, and detection methods. The review found widespread microplastic occurrence in tropical fish species and highlighted the need for standardized methods to enable cross-regional comparisons in fish contamination research.
