Peer Review #1 of "Microplastic ingestion by commercial marine fish from the seawater of Northwest Peninsular Malaysia (v0.2)"
This peer review evaluates a revised version (v0.2) of a study on microplastic ingestion by four commercial marine fish species from Northwest Peninsular Malaysia, where all 72 sampled fish guts contained microplastics totaling 432 particles across species. The reviewer assesses the adequacy of revisions addressing earlier concerns about methodology and the significance of findings for Malaysian food safety given the dietary importance of these fish.
Peer Review #1 of "Microplastic ingestion by commercial marine fish from the seawater of Northwest Peninsular Malaysia (v0.3)"

The findings raise concerns about human dietary exposure to microplastics through commonly consumed fish in the region.
First Evidence of Microplastic Ingestion by Riverine Fish From the Freshwater of Northwest Peninsular Malaysia
Researchers found microplastics in the guts of multiple fish species from two rivers in northwest Malaysia, with some species averaging nearly 50 microplastic particles per gram of body weight. The dominant particles were fibers and fragments of polyethylene and polypropylene — findings that signal widespread contamination of freshwater food sources and raise concerns about human exposure through fish consumption.
Microplasticcontaminationincommercial marine fish: A case study in Johor, Malaysia
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in flesh from four commercial marine fish species (Indian mackerel, yellowtail scad, forktail threadfin bream, black pomfret) from Johor, Malaysia. Pelagic fish species had higher MP concentrations (averaging 0.022 and 0.021 particles/g) than demersal species, with black fragments under 200 µm being the most common particle type.
Microplastic Contamination in Marine Ecosystem of Peninsular Malaysia: A Review in Marine Water, Sediment, and Marine Fish
This review examines microplastic contamination across marine surface waters, sediments, and fish in Peninsular Malaysia from studies published between 2015 and 2024. The researchers found significant knowledge gaps in several states and highlight the urgent need for standardized methodologies and more studies on microplastics in fish flesh for human health risk assessment.
¬Occurrence of Microplastic Ingestion by Commercial Fish Species from the Pangempang Estuary in Indonesia
Five commercially important marine fish species from the Pangempang Estuary in Indonesia were examined for microplastic ingestion, with particles found in the digestive organs of all species tested.
Investigation of Macro, Meso and Microplastics in Fish Gut from Coastal West Coast of Sabah, Malaysia
This study examined the abundance of macro, meso, and microplastics in the gut contents of seven fish species from West Coast African waters, comparing contamination levels across pelagic, demersal, and benthic feeding groups. The findings document plastic ingestion across multiple fish species and feeding strategies, highlighting broad contamination of West African marine food webs.
Quantification, identification, and chemical characterization of microplastics (MPs) in commercial fishes from the Palk Strait, Southeast India
Researchers examined microplastics in the tissues and guts of 75 commercially important fish from the Palk Strait in Southeast India, finding an average of 115 particles per individual. Fibers were the most common form at 51%, with polyethylene and polypropylene as the dominant polymers, and particle sizes ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 millimeters. The presence of microplastics in edible fish tissues suggests a potential route of human exposure through seafood consumption.

Microplastics in Malaysia's Aquatic Environment: Current Overview and Future Perspectives
This review summarizes microplastic research across Malaysia's rivers, coastal waters, seafood, and sediments, finding widespread contamination in all aquatic environments studied. Fibers and fragments from everyday plastic products were the most common types found.
