Microplastics accumulate in farmed fish and shellfish, raising concerns about food safety for the millions of people who consume aquaculture products. The authors discuss removal strategies and call for better monitoring to protect both aquaculture sustainability and consumer health.
Environmental Contaminants in Fish Products: Food Safety Issues and Remediation Strategies
This review provides an overview of environmental contaminants found in fish products, including heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and microplastics, and their risks to human health through seafood consumption. The combined presence of multiple contaminants in fish can create compounding toxic effects that are greater than any single pollutant alone. The authors recommend better monitoring and cleanup strategies, including bioremediation, to protect both marine ecosystems and the people who eat seafood.
Microplastics and chemical contamination in aquaculture ecosystems: The role of climate change and implications for food safety—a review
Researchers reviewed how microplastics and toxic chemicals contaminate aquaculture ecosystems — the fish farms that feed hundreds of millions of people — and found that the growing threat of climate change is making contamination worse by altering how pollutants move and accumulate in aquatic food. The review calls for better quantification of aquaculture's role in both generating and absorbing plastic pollution to protect global food safety.
Microplastics and Food Safety
This review examines how microplastics interact with chemical contaminants and pathogens in food products, focusing primarily on seafood and crops. Researchers found that current studies largely overlook important food sources like vegetables, livestock, and poultry, and rarely account for contaminants that may leach from food-contact plastic materials. The study suggests that existing data is insufficient to estimate realistic human consumption of microplastics and their potential long-term health effects.
Microplastics and their potential effects on the aquaculture systems: a critical review
This review examines the sources, distribution, and potential ecological effects of microplastics in aquaculture systems worldwide. Researchers found that microplastics enter aquaculture through feed, water intake, and atmospheric deposition, and can accumulate in farmed fish and shellfish tissues. The study highlights the need for monitoring programs and mitigation strategies to protect both aquaculture productivity and consumer safety from microplastic contamination.
