ClearLiterature Review: Microplastic Content in the Digestive Tracts of Fish in Indonesian Waters
This literature review synthesizes studies on microplastic content in the digestive tracts of fish from Indonesian waters, covering contamination levels across species, habitats, and regions. The review identifies widespread microplastic ingestion in Indonesian fisheries with implications for seafood safety and marine ecosystem health.
Microplastic Contaminant in Indonesia: A review on Debris, Exposure, Health Risk and Future Perspective
This Indonesian review collates data on microplastic contamination across the country's marine and coastal environments, documenting debris in fish, shellfish, and seawater, and assessing exposure and health risks for the Indonesian population. Given Indonesia's status as one of the world's largest sources of ocean plastic waste, the findings underscore both local exposure risks and the country's critical role in global microplastic pollution.
Scoping Review on Microplastic Pollution in Aquatic Species Across Indonesian Waters
This review of 13 studies found that tiny plastic particles called microplastics are widespread in fish, shellfish, and other sea creatures that people eat from Indonesian waters. The plastic contamination was especially high in filter-feeding animals like clams and in species living near polluted areas. This is concerning because it means people in Indonesia may be eating seafood contaminated with plastic particles, though more research is needed to understand the health risks.
Microplastics Contamination in the Aquatic Environment of Indonesia: A Comprehensive Review
This review comprehensively summarized microplastic contamination across Indonesian aquatic ecosystems, finding widespread MP presence in rivers, bays, estuaries, beaches, seas, fish, and shellfish, with the highest contamination in water bodies near urban and industrial areas.
The presence of microplastics in the Indonesian environment and its effects on health
This systematic review examines microplastic contamination across Indonesian environments, including water, soil, and seafood. The findings confirm that microplastics are present throughout the country's ecosystems and may affect human health through contaminated food and water, which is especially concerning for coastal communities that rely heavily on seafood.
Microplastic Contamination in Marine Fish and Shells in the Coastal Areas of Jember Regency, Indonesia
Researchers detected microplastic contamination in the gastrointestinal tracts of marine fish and shellfish from coastal Jember, Indonesia, finding fibers, fragments, granules, and filaments, with contamination levels varying by species and location.
Microplastic Contamination in Commercially Important Fish from Labuan Bajo Fish Landing Site, Donggala, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in commercially important fish species from an Indonesian fish landing station, quantifying MP abundance across species and tissues to assess food safety risks associated with consuming locally caught seafood.
Abundance and Characteristics of Microplastics Found in The Gastrointestinal Tract of Commercial Marine Fish from Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia
Researchers analyzed microplastic abundance and characteristics in the gastrointestinal tracts of commercial marine fish from Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, providing the first data on seafood microplastic contamination from one of the country's major fisheries production centers.
Pengaruh Konsumsi Ikan Yang Terkontaminasi Mikroplastik Terhadap Kesehatan Tubuh
This Indonesian-language review synthesises evidence that consuming fish contaminated with microplastics can harm human health, as microplastic particles and adsorbed chemical pollutants transfer from fish tissue into the human body upon ingestion. The paper highlights the fish-to-human exposure pathway as a key public health concern, particularly in regions where seafood is a dietary staple.
Karakteristik Mikroplastik Pada Ikan Laut Konsumsi Yang Didaratkan Di Bali
Researchers characterized microplastic contamination in commercially consumed marine fish landed in Bali, Indonesia, examining microplastic presence, type, and polymer composition across multiple fish species. The study found widespread microplastic ingestion in food fish, raising concerns about human dietary exposure through seafood consumption in the region.
Risk Analysis of Microplastic in Fish (Nemiptus Japonicas & Rastrelliger Sp.) in Communities in the Coast Area of Tamasaju, Galesong Takalar
Indonesian researchers measured microplastics in two commercially caught fish species from a coastal community in Takalar, South Sulawesi, and conducted a risk assessment of microplastic exposure from fish consumption. The study found detectable microplastic levels and estimated that regular fish consumers in this area are exposed to measurable microplastic doses.
Review of Microplastic Pollution in Indonesian Waters
This review documents the extent of microplastic pollution across Indonesian waters, including rivers, coastal areas, and the seafloor, and discusses its sources and environmental impacts. Indonesia is one of the world's largest plastic waste producers, making understanding the domestic microplastic problem critical for regional marine health.
Microplastic Pollution in Waters and its Impact on Health and Environment in Indonesia: A Review
This review assessed microplastic pollution in Indonesian waters, documenting widespread contamination across rivers, coastal areas, and marine environments, and discussing the health and ecological impacts for the world's second-largest plastic waste contributor.
Threats of Microplastic Pollution on Aquaculture Activities in Indonesia
This review examined microplastic contamination in Indonesian aquaculture systems, including shrimp, fish, and seaweed farms. Microplastics were found in aquaculture environments and organisms throughout Indonesia, threatening both ecosystem health and seafood safety. The paper calls for better monitoring and management of plastic pollution in Indonesia's extensive aquaculture sector.
Microplastic contamination in Indonesian anchovies from fourteen locations
Microplastic contamination was found in anchovies sampled from 14 locations across Indonesia, with contamination levels varying by location and suggesting that the widespread marine distribution of microplastics poses risks to commercially important small pelagic fish.
The plastics and fish dilemma: to eat or not to eat
This Indonesian media piece discusses the growing problem of microplastics in fish consumed by Indonesians and suggests practical ways to reduce exposure, such as choosing fish with lower contamination levels. The article raises public awareness about a food safety issue that is increasingly relevant as seafood consumption rises in Southeast Asia.
Kajian Kelimpahan Mikroplastik di Biota Perairan
This Indonesian-language review summarizes research on microplastic accumulation in aquatic organisms, covering fish, invertebrates, and marine mammals from both freshwater and marine environments. Microplastics have been found in organisms across all trophic levels and all aquatic habitat types. The review provides an accessible summary of the scope of microplastic contamination in food chains relevant to human dietary exposure.
Microplastics in sediment of Indonesia waters : A systematic review of occurrence, monitoring and potential environmental risks
This systematic review compiles research on microplastic pollution in Indonesian water sediments, finding widespread contamination across the country's rivers, lakes, and coastal areas.
