Microplastics were found throughout shrimp tissues, with implications for seafood safety.
Microplastics in surface water and tissue of white leg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, in a cultured pond in Nakhon Pathom Province, Central Thailand
Researchers detected microplastics in the surface water and edible tissues of white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) farmed in Thailand, raising food safety concerns about microplastic contamination in a commercially important aquaculture species consumed widely across Asia.
Farmed stage (age)-dependent accumulation and size of microplastics in Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp reared in a super-intensive controlled system
Researchers tracked microplastic accumulation in farmed shrimp over their entire growth cycle and found that both the number and size of microplastic particles increased as the shrimp grew older. Shrimp raised in super-intensive indoor systems had higher microplastic contamination than those from traditional ponds or wild environments, likely due to the extensive plastic materials used in the farming infrastructure. Since shrimp is widely consumed seafood, these findings mean that people eating farmed shrimp are likely consuming microplastics that accumulated throughout the animals' lives.
Isolation and Analysis of Microplastics in Vaname Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei Boone, 1931) at Tanjung Luar Fish Landing Base, East Lombok Regency
Researchers isolated and analyzed microplastics from vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) collected at Tanjung Luar fish landing base in East Lombok, Indonesia. Microplastics were detected in shrimp digestive systems, raising food safety concerns given the direct pathway to human consumption through seafood.
The occurrence of pollutants in organisms and water of inland mariculture systems: Shrimp aquaculture is a procession of Microplastics accumulation
This study examined microplastic contamination in water and shrimp at different stages of both pond-based and industrial inland aquaculture systems, finding that shrimp accumulated microplastics throughout the production cycle. The results establish shrimp aquaculture as a notable pathway for microplastic transfer into the food supply.
Occurrence and Characteristics of Microplastics in Wild and Farmed Shrimps Collected from Cau Hai Lagoon, Central Vietnam
Researchers measured microplastic occurrence in the gastrointestinal tracts and tissues of four shrimp species (two wild, two farmed) from a Vietnamese lagoon, finding microplastics in all species and providing baseline data on seafood plastic contamination for this region.
