IDENTIFIKASI TIPE DAN KELIMPAHAN MIKROPLASTIK PADA IKAN NILA (Oreochromis niloticus) DI WADUK LAHOR KABUPATEN MALANG JAWA TIMUR

This Indonesian-language study examined microplastic contamination in the digestive tracts of Nile tilapia farmed in Lahor Reservoir, East Java, finding plastic particles at multiple sampling stations across the reservoir. Because tilapia is a widely consumed fish in the region, the results point to a direct route through which microplastics — sourced from inflowing rivers and residential areas — can enter the human food chain.
