ClearCharacteristics, Abundance and Polymer Type of Microplastics in Anadara granosa (Blood Clam) from Coastal Area of Palopo City
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in blood clams collected from coastal waters near Palopo City, Indonesia. As filter feeders, these bivalves are particularly vulnerable to ingesting microplastic particles, and the study documented the abundance and polymer types found in their tissues. The findings raise concerns about human exposure to microplastics through the consumption of commonly harvested shellfish.
Implication of microplastic presence in sediment and blood clams Anadara granosa (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in the Musi Estuary, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic concentrations in sediment and blood clam (Anadara granosa) tissues from coastal collection sites, finding MPs in all samples and identifying specific polymer types consistent with regional fishing gear and packaging waste sources.
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.
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.
Microplastic ingestion of blood cockles (Tegillarca granosa) in Kuala Juru, Pulau Pinang
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.
IDENTIFIKASI KEBERADAAN DAN JENIS MIKROPLASTIK PADA KERANG DARAH (Anadara granosa) DI PERAIRAN TANJUNG TIRAM, TELUK AMBON
Researchers identified microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) from Tanjung Tiram in Ambon Bay, Indonesia, finding 360 fiber particles and 61 fragment particles in examined specimens. The presence of microplastics in this commercially consumed shellfish raises concerns about chemical transfer to both marine biota and human consumers.
DETECTION OF MICROPLASTICS IN BLOOD CLAM (Tegillarca granosa) AND GREEN MUSSEL (Perna viridis) FROM BERINGHARJO MARKET, YOGYAKARTA CITY
Microplastics were detected in blood clam and green mussel samples purchased from a market in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with abundance and morphology data contributing to understanding of bivalve contamination in Indonesian coastal seafood.
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.
Identifikasi mikroplastik pada anadara antiquata di pesisir desa Garassikang kabupaten Jeneponto
Researchers identified microplastics from the shells and tissues of blood ark shells (Anadara antiquata) collected from coastal areas of Jeneponto Regency, Indonesia, finding diverse plastic particles and highlighting contamination in commercially harvested bivalves.
Spatial Distribution of Microplastic Contamination in Blood Clams (Anadara granosa) on the Jeneponto Coast, South Sulawesi
Researchers mapped microplastic contamination in blood clams (Anadara granosa) along the South Sulawesi coast of Indonesia using spatial analysis, linking distribution patterns to local wind and current conditions. The findings document microplastic ingestion in this commercially consumed bivalve and highlight the health implications for coastal communities who eat them.
Microplastic Content in Blood Cockles (Anadara granosa) from the Coastal Waters of Tanah Merah Meranti Islands, Riau
This study measured microplastic content in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) collected from coastal waters of Tanah Merah Beach in the Meranti Islands, Riau, Indonesia. Microplastics were detected across all sampling locations, with residential and industrial zones near the coast associated with higher cockle contamination levels.
Microplastic Contamination in Blood Cockles and Mussels in Bandon Bay, Suratthani Province, Thailand
Researchers quantified microplastic contamination in blood cockles and mussels from Bandon Bay, Thailand, finding widespread plastic particles in these commercially important bivalves and raising concerns about microplastic transfer through the seafood supply chain.
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.
Assessment of Microplastics Contamination in Commericial Clams in the Coastal Zone of Vietnam
Microplastic contamination was assessed in commercially harvested clams from aquaculture farms in coastal Vietnam, a country where microplastic impacts on aquaculture are poorly understood. Both vertebrates and invertebrates in coastal areas were found to ingest microplastics, raising concerns about food safety in Vietnamese seafood.
Isolation and Analysis of Microplastics in Feather Clams (Anadara antiquata) at Tanjung Luar Fish Landing Base, East Lombok Regency
Researchers isolated and characterized microplastics from feather clam tissues collected at Tanjung Luar fish landing base in East Lombok, Indonesia. Multiple microplastic types were found in the soft tissues of bivalves that are regularly consumed by local communities, raising food safety concerns for this seafood-dependent coastal population.
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.
MIKROPLASTIK PADA KERANG DARAH Anadara granosa (Linnaeus, 1758) YANG DI DARATKAN DI PELABUHAN PERIKANAN PANTAI (PPP) LEMPASING, BANDAR LAMPUNG DAN TEMPAT PELELANGAN IKAN (TPI) LABUHAN MARINGGAI, LAMPUNG TIMUR
Researchers detected microplastics in blood cockle (Anadara granosa) samples collected at the Lempasing coastal fishing port in Indonesia, characterizing particle abundance, morphology, and composition in this commercially harvested bivalve species amid Indonesia's significant marine plastic pollution challenge.
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.
