Diversity of Bivalvia Types in the Mangrove Area of Sungai Nyirih Village, West Kalimantan
This study identifies and catalogs bivalve species (cockles and blood clams) living in mangrove ecosystems of West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It is not directly about microplastics; while bivalves are commonly used as bioindicators for microplastic contamination, this paper does not assess plastic ingestion or pollution levels and is a false positive for microplastic relevance.

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.
Microplastics in wild clams harvested from coastal waters of Lamongan, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic contamination in wild clams harvested from coastal waters off Lamongan, Indonesia, finding MPs in all sampled individuals with polyethylene and polypropylene as the dominant polymers. The findings raise concerns for both clam population health and the safety of shellfish consumed locally.
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.
Isolation and identification of microplastic on the cockleshell of blood clam (Anadara Granosa Linn)
This study aimed to identify microplastics on the cockleshell surfaces of blood clams (Anadara granosa) sampled from five beaches, using NaCl separation and microscopy to characterize particle abundance and morphology on commercially harvested shellfish.
First report on microplastics in a freshwater clam, Corbicula baudoni, in Vietnam
Researchers conducted the first study of microplastic contamination in the freshwater clam Corbicula baudoni from the Mekong River Delta in Vietnam. They monitored both small and large clams monthly and found microplastics present in the organisms. The findings raise concerns about microplastic transfer through freshwater food chains and potential human exposure through shellfish consumption in the region.
Microplastic prevalence, diversity and characteristics in commercially important edible bivalves and gastropods in relation to environmental matrices
Researchers assessed microplastic abundance and characteristics in the tissues of commercially important bivalves and gastropods from the southwest coast of India, finding MPs across all five species examined and raising concerns about seafood safety.
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.
The wedge clam Donax trunculus L., 1758 as a bioindicator of microplastic pollution
The wedge clam Donax trunculus was evaluated as a bioindicator of microplastic pollution at six coastal sites near a developing tourist resort in Morocco, with microplastic loads in tissues ranging from 1.75 to 5.93 items per gram and reflecting local levels of beach urbanization. The study supports using this bivalve as a monitoring species for plastic pollution in Mediterranean coastal systems.
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.
Molecular Diet Analysis of Asian Clam for Estuarine Biodiversity Monitoring: A Case Study of Nakdong River Estuary
Researchers used environmental DNA extracted from the gut contents of Asian clams to identify biodiversity in the Nakdong River Estuary. Filter-feeding organisms like clams accumulate microplastics alongside food particles, making them useful both as biodiversity monitors and as indicators of microplastic contamination levels.
Bivalve Mollusks as Biological Monitoring of Microplastic: A Review of Anadara antiquata and Gafrarium sp. in Indonesia
This Indonesian review examines two bivalve species (Anadara antiquata and Gafrarium sp.) as biological monitors of coastal microplastic contamination, synthesizing evidence that these filter feeders accumulate microplastics from seawater and serve as reliable sentinels for pollution in Indonesian coastal ecosystems.
Types and Abundance of Microplastics in Meretrix meretrix Clams and Sediments in the Sri Tanjung Coastal Area, Rupat Sub-District, Bengkalis
Researchers identified and quantified microplastics in Meretrix meretrix clams and coastal sediments at Sri Tanjung, Rupat Sub-district, Bengkalis Regency, Indonesia. The study examined microplastic types, size-based abundance differences, and the relationship between clam tissue and sediment microplastic loads in this coastal environment.
Uptake of Microplastics in the Wedge Clam Donax trunculus: First Evidence from the Mediterranean Sea
Researchers documented the first evidence of microplastic uptake in the wedge clam Donax trunculus from the Mediterranean Sea, characterizing the particles ingested by this commercially important bivalve species along Italian coastal beaches. The findings establish this species as a useful bioindicator for microplastic monitoring and raise concerns about human dietary exposure through shellfish consumption.

Microplastic contamination in Bivalves: An assessment of potential health risks to humans and bivalves in the Tam Giang Lagoon
Researchers analysed microplastic contamination in three bivalve species from Tam Giang Lagoon in Vietnam, finding 291 MP particles across 36 specimens, with clams showing the highest burden (67% of total MPs). The findings indicate significant human dietary MP exposure from lagoon bivalves and call for monitoring of this food source.
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.
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.
Microplastic Analysis of Consumed Mussels (Donax sp.) and Tofu Clams (Meretrix sp.)
A study of two edible clam species sold in Indonesian markets found microplastic contamination in both, with fibers and fragments being the most common types detected. Because these shellfish are filter feeders that concentrate particles from the water, people who eat them regularly may be ingesting microplastics, raising concerns about food safety.
