ClearImpact of aquaculture practices on the sustainability of social-ecological systems in coastal zones of the Mekong delta
This Vietnamese study examines how different shrimp aquaculture intensities affect the sustainability of coastal social-ecological systems in the Mekong Delta. More intensive farming models increase economic risks and ecological damage to mangrove and coastal habitats, while extensive models better support sustainable livelihoods.
A critical review of microplastics in the shrimp farming environment: Incidence, characteristics, effects, and a first mass balance model
This review provides the first mass balance model for tracking how microplastics flow through shrimp farming systems, from water and feed inputs to accumulation in shrimp tissues and sediments. Researchers found that microplastics can act as carriers for other contaminants and accumulate in shrimp at levels that may pose risks to consumers. The study identifies critical knowledge gaps in understanding how aquaculture practices contribute to microplastic contamination in farmed seafood.
Microplastic toxicity in shrimp: From mechanistic pathways to ecological implications.
Researchers systematically reviewed 94 studies on microplastic toxicity in shrimp, mapping mechanistic pathways from particle characteristics to oxidative stress, immune dysfunction, neurotoxicity, and reproductive impairment across hepatopancreas, gills, gut, and gonad tissues, and identifying shrimp as effective bioindicators for aquatic microplastic risk assessment.
The occurrence of pollutants in organisms and water of inland mariculture systems: Shrimp aquaculture is a procession of Microplastics accumulation
This study examined microplastic contamination in water and shrimp at different stages of both pond-based and industrial inland aquaculture systems, finding that shrimp accumulated microplastics throughout the production cycle. The results establish shrimp aquaculture as a notable pathway for microplastic transfer into the food supply.
Abundance, characteristics and ecological risk assessment of microplastics in ship ballast water in ports around Liaodong Peninsula, China
This study assessed microplastic abundance, characteristics, and ecological risk in shrimp aquaculture environments, finding that farming activities introduce and accumulate microplastics in pond sediments and water that pose risk to cultured organisms.
Water quality impact from shrimp farming effluents in a tropical estuary
This study modeled the water quality impacts of shrimp farming effluents in a tropical estuary, finding that nutrient and organic matter discharge degrades water quality. This research is focused on aquaculture pollution rather than microplastics, though aquaculture activities are also recognized as a source of plastic debris in coastal environments.
Impacts of microplastics on three different juvenile shrimps: Investigating the organism response distinction
The responses of three farmed shrimp species — Penaeus monodon, Marsupenaeus japonicus, and a third species — to microplastic exposure were compared to investigate species-specific effects. Results showed differences in sensitivity and biological response among the three shrimp species, indicating that microplastic risk assessments for aquaculture cannot assume uniform impacts across species.
Assessing the impact of microplastics and nanoplastics on shrimp growth, physiology, antioxidant, immune responses and gut microbiota
This review examines how microplastics and nanoplastics affect shrimp health, covering impacts on growth, immune function, gut bacteria, and antioxidant defenses. Researchers found that plastic exposure can impair shrimp physiology through multiple pathways, with implications for both aquaculture productivity and seafood safety. The study highlights the need for more research on how plastic pollution in coastal waters threatens shrimp populations that are important for both ecosystems and human nutrition.
Microplastic Analysis in Vannamei Shrimp Ponds in Kandang Semangkon Village, Paciran, Lamongan, East Java, Indonesia
Researchers analysed the abundance, types, and colours of microplastics in water and shrimp tissue at vannamei shrimp ponds in East Java, Indonesia, and examined the relationship between total suspended solids and microplastic presence across two sampling stations.
Growth of Vannamei Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in Intensive Cultivation Systems
Not relevant to microplastics — this descriptive study tracks the growth performance and water quality parameters in intensive Litopenaeus vannamei (vannamei shrimp) aquaculture ponds in Indonesia.
Microplastic pollution budget assessment of different integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (imta) systems
Researchers assessed the microplastic pollution budget of different integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems, evaluating how fragmentation and degradation of synthetic construction materials including ropes, infrastructure, and pipes generate microplastic emissions within both open and recirculating aquaculture operations.
Analysis of Microplastic Contamination in Vaname Shrimp (Litopenaeus Vannamei) with Different Cultivation Methods
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination across three different vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultivation methods, sampling water, sediment, commercial feed, and shrimp tissues over three months. The study aimed to identify which cultivation system introduces more microplastics into the production environment and assess potential contamination routes for farmed shrimp.
Observation of microplastics in mariculture water of Longjiao Bay, southeast China: Influence by human activities
A 9-month study of a shrimp mariculture farm in southeastern China found microplastic concentrations of 250–5,150 items/m³ in culture pond water, with seasonal variation and granules and fibers as dominant types — identifying aquaculture pond management practices as a driver of local MP levels.
Shrimp industry in China: overview of the trends in the production, imports and exports during the last two decades, challenges, and outlook
This review examines China's shrimp farming industry over the past two decades, highlighting its rapid growth and the environmental challenges associated with intensified production. While not focused on microplastics directly, aquaculture is a known source of microplastic contamination in seafood, making sustainable shrimp farming practices important for reducing human dietary exposure to these particles.
Food for all: designing sustainable and secure future seafood systems
This study examined how to design sustainable and secure future seafood systems capable of feeding a growing global population, integrating ecological, social, and economic dimensions of seafood production. The authors identified microplastic contamination of marine food chains as one of multiple threats to seafood system sustainability and security.
Evaluating Pollution from Aquaculture Materials and Developing Sustainable Alternatives to Reduce Marine Environmental Impacts: A Case Study in Vietnam
Researchers assessed the status of marine pollution associated with aquaculture activities in Vietnam, with particular emphasis on plastic and microplastic contamination from aquaculture materials, and developed recommendations for more sustainable alternatives to reduce the environmental footprint of coastal aquaculture operations.
Diversity of phytoplankton in the whiteleg (Litopenaeus vannamei) shrimp ponds in the south coastal area of Pangandaran, Indonesia
This Indonesian study assessed phytoplankton diversity and water quality in shrimp ponds using different farming intensities, finding that phytoplankton community composition serves as a useful bioindicator of pond health and productivity. Healthy aquaculture ecosystems are relevant to food safety given that farmed seafood is increasingly being found to contain microplastics from contaminated water.
Ecological risk profiling of microplastic load in commercial aquaculture of Bangladesh: A multi-approach analysis across species-specific ponds
Researchers assessed microplastic contamination across five types of commercial fish ponds in Bangladesh, finding an average of about 520 particles per cubic meter of water. Pangas ponds had the highest contamination levels, and polyethylene and polypropylene were the most common plastic types. The study raises concerns about ecological risks to farmed fish in one of the world's leading aquaculture nations.
Distribution Patterns and Human Exposure Risks of Microplastics in Dominant Wild Edible Shrimp: A Case Study of Haizhou Bay Marine Ranch
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in dominant wild shrimp species in Haizhou Bay, China, characterizing the types, sizes, and concentrations of MPs found in their bodies and assessing the human dietary exposure risks from consuming these economically important seafood species.
