Vertical distribution and sediment accumulation of microplastics in coastal aquaculture ponds of Kalanganyar Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia

Researchers evaluated the vertical distribution and sediment accumulation of microplastics in aquaculture ponds in Kalanganyar Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia, sampling water and sediment across inlet channels, pond interiors, and a nearby river. The study found microplastics throughout the water column and in sediments, with distribution patterns reflecting both hydrodynamic transport and local contamination sources.

Abundance, characteristics and variation of microplastics in different freshwater fish species from Bangladesh

Researchers examined 48 freshwater fish from 18 species in Bangladesh and found microplastics in the digestive tracts of over 73% of the fish studied. Fibers were the most common shape, and the plastics were primarily polyethylene and polypropylene-based polymers. Bottom-dwelling fish contained more microplastics than those living higher in the water column, suggesting that contaminated sediments are a significant source of exposure for freshwater species.

Assessment and quantification of microplastic contamination in fishes with different food habits from Beel wetlands

Researchers examined microplastic contamination in fish from freshwater wetlands in India, finding particles in the digestive tracts of all 90 fish sampled across different feeding types. Carnivorous fish accumulated the most microplastics, followed by omnivores and then herbivores, suggesting trophic transfer plays a role. The most common particles were fibers in the 100 to 500 micrometer size range, with polyethylene and nylon as the dominant polymer types.
