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.

Identification of Microplastic in the Digestive Tracts of Mackerel Tuna, Lemuru and Sea Water from Pangandaran, Indonesia

Researchers examined the digestive tracts of mackerel tuna and lemuru fish from coastal waters in Pangandaran, Indonesia, and found microplastics in both species. Mackerel tuna contained mostly fragment-type microplastics while lemuru had primarily fiber-type particles, with polypropylene and polyester identified as the dominant polymer types. The study highlights the extent of microplastic contamination in commercially important fish species and the potential for human exposure through seafood consumption.

Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Ikan Pelagis Dan Demersal Yang Didaratkan Di Pelabuhan Perikanan Banjar Raya Banjarmasin Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan

Researchers examined microplastic contamination in both pelagic and demersal fish landed at a fishing port in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, finding an average of 8.3 microplastic particles per pelagic individual and 5.1 per demersal individual with moderate overall pollution levels. Fibres and fragments were the dominant forms detected. These findings demonstrate that commercially caught fish in Indonesian waters carry microplastics into the human food supply.
