Spatial Distribution of Microplastic Contamination in Blood Clams (anadara Granosa) on the Jeneponto Coast, South Sulawesi
Researchers mapped the distribution of microplastic contamination inside blood clams (Anadara granosa) harvested along the Jeneponto coast of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The highest microplastic levels were found in clams from mangrove ecosystems and residential waterways, while river areas showed the lowest contamination. Because blood clams are widely eaten as a daily food source, these findings raise direct concerns about microplastic ingestion by local populations.
Risk Analysis of Microplastic Exposure Through Consumption of Anadara Granosa at Coastal Area
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in blood clams from a coastal area in Indonesia, finding 68 microplastic particles across samples, predominantly in line shapes with blue coloring. The risk assessment determined that current exposure levels through clam consumption remain within safe limits, though the study notes that microplastic exposure in humans occurs through multiple routes beyond seafood consumption alone.

Microplastic abundance in blood cockle Anadara granosa (linnaeus, 1758) at Lada Bay, Pandeglang, Banten
Microplastic abundance and types were analyzed in blood cockles (Anadara granosa), water, and sediment from Lada Bay, Pandeglang, Indonesia. The study documented the presence of microplastics in all sample types, with cockles accumulating particles through their filter-feeding activity in the contaminated bay.
Keberadaan mikroplastik pada kerang darah (Anadara granosa) dari TPI Tambak Lorok, Semarang
Researchers in Semarang, Indonesia, found microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) sold at a local fish market, with fibers and fragments being the most common types identified under microscopy. The study also tested whether washing the shellfish before analysis affected results, finding contamination was present regardless. Because blood cockles are a widely consumed seafood in the region and are filter feeders that concentrate particles from the water column, this finding signals a direct route for microplastic ingestion by local populations.

Researchers quantified microplastic ingestion in blood cockles (Tegillarca granosa) collected from Kuala Juru, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia, identifying the types and abundances of microplastics present in these commercially harvested bivalves. The study documented microplastic contamination in this economically important shellfish species, raising concerns about human dietary exposure through seafood consumption.
The spatial distribution and physico-chemical characteristic of microplastics in the sediment and cockle (Anadara granosa) from the coastal waters of East Java, Indonesia, and the health hazards associated with cockle consumption
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in coastal sediments and cockles along the East Java coast of Indonesia and assessed the potential health risks from consuming the shellfish. They found microplastics, predominantly fibers and fragments, in all sediment and cockle tissue samples, with consumers potentially ingesting tens of thousands of microplastic particles per year. The findings raise concerns about dietary microplastic exposure for communities that regularly eat shellfish from these waters.
Beneath the surface: Exploring microplastic intricacies in Anadara granosa
Researchers examined blood cockles from major cultivation areas across Peninsular Malaysia and found microplastics in every sample tested. The most common particles were small fragments and fibers, with the highest contamination on the west coast, raising concerns about human exposure since Malaysia is the world's largest exporter of this popular shellfish.

Characteristics of microplastics pollution in important commercial coastal seafood of Central Java, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic contamination in three commercially important seafoods from coastal Indonesia — milkfish, blood cockles, and green mussels — finding that all three contained plastic particles, with green mussels carrying the highest load at an average of 71 particles per individual. The variety of polymer types detected, including rubber and styrene compounds, confirms that microplastics are entering the human food chain through commonly consumed seafood.

Researchers quantified microplastics in sediments and Anadara antiquata cockles from two Surabaya coastline sites, finding higher contamination at the urban Bulak District site (5.1 particles/individual in cockles, 361 particles/kg in sediment) compared to the mangrove-covered Gunung Anyar area, with fibers dominating in cockle tissue.
Microplastics Isolated From Shellfish Paratapes undulatus From Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia
Researchers isolated and characterized microplastics from the soft tissues of the shellfish Paratapes undulatus collected from Kuala Selangor, Malaysia, analyzing 30 samples for plastic type, shape, and size. The study documented the types of microplastics present in this commercially harvested bivalve, raising concern about human exposure through seafood consumption.
Microplastic Analysis of Consumed Mussels (Donax sp.) and Tofu Clams (Meretrix sp.)
A study of two edible clam species sold in Indonesian markets found microplastic contamination in both, with fibers and fragments being the most common types detected. Because these shellfish are filter feeders that concentrate particles from the water, people who eat them regularly may be ingesting microplastics, raising concerns about food safety.
Pollution in marine bivalves: The immunosuppressive effects of microplastics on Anadara granosa
Researchers exposed blood clams to polystyrene microplastics for one week and found that the plastics suppressed their immune system in a dose-dependent manner. Higher microplastic concentrations reduced the clams' immune cell counts, hemoglobin, and disease-fighting enzymes. Since blood clams are a commercially harvested seafood species, weakened immunity could increase disease outbreaks in clam populations and potentially affect the safety of shellfish consumed by humans.
Charting the microplastic menace: A bibliometric analysis of pollution in Malaysian mangroves and polypropylene bioaccumulation assessment in Anadara granosa
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in Malaysian mangrove ecosystems and tested how a common shellfish species accumulates polypropylene particles. They found microplastics in all sediment and water samples, with the shellfish readily taking up fiber-shaped particles. The estimated dietary intake suggests that consumers of these shellfish could ingest hundreds of microplastic particles per year, highlighting food safety concerns.
