Analisis Komposisi Mikroplastik Pada Tiga Ikan Laut Ekonomis Penting dari Pelabuhan Perikanan di Jawa Timur, Indonesia

Researchers analyzed microplastic composition in the digestive tracts and organs of three economically important fish species -- Clupea harengus, Euthynnus affinis, and Restrelliger brachysoma -- collected from fishing ports in East Java, Indonesia, finding fibers and fragments as the dominant types. Clupea harengus exhibited the highest microplastic abundance, attributed to its inability to distinguish microplastics from planktonic prey.

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.
