Microplastics abundance in four different species of commercial fishes in Bali Strait
Four commercially important fish species in the Bali Strait, Indonesia all contained microplastics in their gastrointestinal tracts, with fragments and fibers being most common. As these fish are widely consumed, this raises concerns about microplastic transfer to humans through the seafood supply chain.
Occurrence, distribution and characteristics of microplastics in gastrointestinal tract and gills of commercial marine fish from Malaysia
Researchers examined 158 commercial marine fish from 16 species in Malaysia and found microplastics in the gastrointestinal tracts and gills of all species studied. Fibers were the most common microplastic type, and the contamination levels varied between sampling locations. The findings add to growing evidence that microplastics are widespread in commercially important fish species, raising questions about the potential for human exposure through seafood consumption.
Abundance and characteristics of microplastics in commercial marine fish from Malaysia
Microplastics were found in the digestive tracts of eight commercially important marine fish species caught in Malaysian waters, with prevalence and particle types varying by species and location. The study raises food safety concerns for Malaysian seafood consumers and highlights the widespread occurrence of microplastic ingestion in wild-caught fish from Southeast Asian seas.
Morphochemical information on microplastic fibers found in edible tissue of local commercial fishes from the South China Sea and the Straits of Malacca for potential human consumption
Researchers found a high abundance of fiber-shaped microplastics in the edible tissue of commercial fish from the South China Sea and Straits of Malacca. The fibers were identified in species commonly sold for human consumption. This study highlights that people eating fish from these waters are likely being exposed to microplastics through their diet.
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 baseline contamination data for commercially important species from a major Indonesian fisheries region.
Evaluation of Microplastic Contamination in Commercially Edible Fresh Water and Marine Fishes Bought from Fish Markets, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India
This Indian study examined microplastic contamination in freshwater and marine fish sold in markets in Tamil Nadu, finding plastic particles in multiple commercially important species. People who regularly eat fish from contaminated markets are likely consuming microplastics as part of their diet.
Identification and Quantification of Microplastics in Mackerel (Rastrelliger sp) at the Tual City Fish Market
Researchers identified and quantified microplastics in the digestive tracts of mackerel from the Tual City fish market in Indonesia using microscopy and FTIR analysis, confirming the presence of multiple polymer types in commercially sold fish.
Assessment Of Microplastics In Commercially Important Fishes Collected From Thondi Fish Landing Center
Researchers assessed the presence and characteristics of microplastics in commercially important fish species collected from the Thondi fish landing center in India. The study evaluated microplastic contamination levels in fish obtained from a coastal fishing hub, contributing data on the prevalence of plastic particles in seafood relevant to both ecological and human dietary exposure concerns.
Characterization of microplastic in trawl fish caught in Padang City (Indonesia) coastal area
Researchers characterized microplastics found in trawl fish caught along the coastal waters of Padang City, Indonesia, documenting the types, abundance, and potential carcinogenic risk posed by microplastic contamination in commercially important fish species.
Microplastics Contamination in Commercial Fish Landed at Tasikagung Rembang Coastal Fishing Port, Central Java, Indonesia
Researchers examined three commercial fish species (Decapterus sp., Priacanthus tayenus, Nemipterus sp.) landed at a coastal port in Central Java, Indonesia, for microplastics in their gills, digestive tracts, and flesh. Microplastics were detected across tissues and species, with shape, color, size, and polymer composition characterized, contributing to baseline data on MP exposure in Indonesian marine fish.

Researchers identified and quantified microplastic composition and abundance in digestive tract contents of wild-caught fish from a coastal fishery, documenting ingestion rates, polymer types, and particle morphologies across multiple commercially important species.
Microplasticcontaminationincommercial marine fish: A case study in Johor, Malaysia
Researchers examined four species of commercially important marine fish from waters around Johor, Malaysia, and found microplastics present in the flesh of all species sampled. Fibers and fragments were the most common particle types, with polypropylene and polyethylene being the dominant polymers identified. The findings raise concerns about human dietary exposure to microplastics through commonly consumed fish in the region.
Assessment of microplastic contamination in commercially available fishes
Researchers found microplastics in every one of 32 commercially sold fish from markets in Vellore, India, recovering a total of 875 particles from their gills and digestive tracts. Fibers made up 91% of the microplastics, with polyvinyl alcohol and polyethylene being the most common types. Since these are fish commonly eaten by local populations, the findings raise direct concerns about human microplastic exposure through seafood consumption.
Ingestion of plastic by fish destined for human consumption in remote South Pacific Islands

Microplastic presence in dried and fresh fish from seafood markets in Sri Lanka
Scientists examined both fresh and dried fish from seafood markets across Sri Lanka and found microplastics in over 82% of the samples, with fiber-shaped pieces making up more than 95% of the contamination. Fresh fish had higher contamination levels than dried fish, suggesting that preparation methods affect microplastic content. Since these small fish species are commonly eaten whole, consumers may be ingesting significant amounts of microplastics through popular seafood products.
