ClearMicroplastic and copper contamination in coastal waters: Accumulation in zooplankton and caged milkfish (Chanos chanos), and metallothionein response in fish
Researchers studied microplastic and copper contamination in coastal waters near Semarang, Indonesia, examining accumulation in zooplankton and caged milkfish. They found microplastics in all water and biological samples, with the highest concentrations in fish digestive tracts, while copper levels exceeded national water quality standards. The study suggests that co-exposure to microplastics and heavy metals in coastal aquaculture environments may pose toxicological risks to both marine organisms and human consumers.
Physiological impacts of microplastics, heavy metals, and metallothionein in milkfish (Chanos chanos) in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia
Researchers analyzed concentrations of microplastics, metallothionein, and heavy metals in milkfish (Chanos chanos) sampled from Jakarta Bay, Indonesia, to assess how anthropogenic activities contribute to combined microplastic and heavy metal contamination in commercially important coastal fish.
Comparison of microplastic abundance in aquaculture ponds of milkfish Chanos chanos (Forsskål, 1775) at Muara Kamal and Marunda, Jakarta Bay
Microplastics were found in milkfish and in both water and sediment from aquaculture ponds in Jakarta Bay, with fibers and fragments being most common. As milkfish is widely consumed in Indonesia, this contamination is a direct pathway for microplastics to reach people through their diet.
Konsentrasi Logam Berat Timbal (Pb) dan Tembaga (Cu) pada Hasil Tangkapan Nelayan Pesisir Semarang dan Tegal Jawa Tengah
This study measured lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) concentrations in fish caught by coastal fishermen in Semarang and Tegal, Central Java, Indonesia. Heavy metals were detected in fish tissues, reflecting contamination in the coastal waters. Since microplastics can adsorb and concentrate heavy metals before being ingested by fish, they may amplify the metal burden in seafood consumed by local communities.

Microplastic particles were detected in milkfish (Chanos chanos) from brackishwater ponds in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, raising food safety concerns for this commercially important species farmed near coastal settlements.
Heavy Metal Pollution and Potential Ecological Risk Assessment in a Typical Mariculture Area in Western Guangdong
Researchers assessed heavy metal contamination in seawater, sediments, and feed in a mariculture area of western Guangdong, China, finding that lead and copper exceeded standard limits in breeding wastewater and that the sediment was at low to moderate ecological risk from chromium, copper, arsenic, cadmium, and lead.
The use of green mussel as bioindicator of heavy metal pollution in Indonesia: a review
This review covers the use of Asian green mussel Perna viridis as a bioindicator of heavy metal pollution in Indonesian waters, summarizing studies on metal accumulation in mussel tissue relative to water quality and discussing implications for seafood safety.
Logam Berat Mercury (Hg) dan Arsen (As) pada Hasil Tangkapan Nelayan Pesisir Semarang dan Tegal Jawa Tengah
This Indonesian study measured mercury and arsenic levels in fish caught by coastal fishers in Semarang and Tegal, finding heavy metal concentrations that highlight contamination risks for communities depending on local seafood.
Bioaccumulation and potential sources of heavy metal contamination in fish species in River Ganga basin: Possible human health risks evaluation
Researchers assessed heavy metal contamination in seven commonly consumed fish species from the Ganga River basin in India, measuring zinc, lead, copper, cadmium, and chromium levels. They found that chromium, cadmium, and lead concentrations in river water exceeded safe limits at all sampling sites, with the highest metal accumulation occurring in fish liver tissue. The health risk assessment indicated potential long-term hazards for human populations consuming fish from these contaminated river segments.
Microplastic and Heavy Metal Accumulation in Cultured Fish: Concerns for Food Safety
Researchers analysed microplastics and heavy metals in five freshwater fish species from aquaculture ponds in Bangladesh and found MPs in the gastrointestinal tracts of 96% and in edible tissues of 88% of fish sampled. Heavy metal concentrations also exceeded safe levels in several species, raising combined food safety concerns.
Health risk assessment of heavy metals in marine fish caught from the northwest Persian Gulf
Not a microplastics paper — this study measures heavy metal concentrations (nickel, zinc, copper, lead, cadmium) in marine fish from the Persian Gulf and assesses the associated human health risk from fish consumption.
Microplastic Contamination in Fish, Water and Sediment from Milkfish Ponds: Environmental Insights from Kasemen District, Banten Province, Indonesia
Researchers assessed microplastic contamination in the flesh, intestines, stomach, gills, water, and sediment of milkfish from aquaculture ponds in Kasemen District, Banten Province, Indonesia, across six sampling stations. Microplastics were detected in all matrices, with the study providing environmental insights into how household plastic waste entering ponds degrades and accumulates throughout the aquatic food chain.
Analysis of microplastic content in milkfish (Chanos chanos) in the Domas Village aquaculture pond, Pontang District, Serang Regency, Banten Province
Researchers analyzed the abundance, characteristics, and polymer types of microplastics in milkfish (Chanos chanos) from aquaculture ponds in Domas Village, Banten Province, Indonesia, using purposive sampling and descriptive analysis. The study aimed to document microplastic contamination in farmed milkfish as a contribution to understanding polymer pollution in Indonesian aquaculture systems.
The accumulation of microplastics and their associated heavy metals on the surfaces of microplastics in various tissues of the pelagic fish Rastrelliger kanagurta, from the northern coast of Central Java, Indonesia
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in the tissues of pelagic mackerel from the northern coast of Central Java, Indonesia. The study found microplastics predominantly in fragment shapes smaller than 500 micrometers across gills, stomach, intestines, and liver, along with seven polymer types, multiple plastic additives, and heavy metals including manganese, chromium, and nickel adsorbed onto microplastic surfaces.

Researchers assessed cadmium, lead, and mercury levels in yellowfin tuna and swordfish from the Pacific and Indian Oceans, finding that heavy metal concentrations were within acceptable safety limits and dietary exposure posed no significant health risk.
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.

This review summarizes how heavy metals accumulate in fish tissues through contaminated water and enter the human food chain, posing serious public health concerns. The paper discusses bioremediation techniques using microorganisms and other methods to remove heavy metals from aquatic environments, which is relevant because microplastics can carry and concentrate these same toxic metals.
