Peer Review #3 of "Detection of microplastics in Litopenaeus vannamei (Penaeidae) and Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Palaemonidae) in cultured pond (v0.1)"
This peer review evaluates a study detecting microplastics in the gastrointestinal tracts of giant freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) from a polyculture pond in central Thailand, where a total of 1,166 MP items were identified across 450 specimens with average counts differing between sexes and species.
Detection of microplastics in Litopenaeus vannamei (Penaeidae) and Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Palaemonidae) in cultured pond
Researchers detected microplastics in the gastrointestinal tracts of cultured whiteleg shrimp and giant river prawns from aquaculture ponds. The findings indicate that consuming these shellfish without removing the digestive tract is one pathway by which humans may be exposed to microplastics. The study suggests that microplastics in freshwater aquaculture species can transfer through the food chain to human consumers.
Identification of anthropogenic debris in the stomach and intestines of giant freshwater prawns from the Trang River in southern Thailand
Researchers identified and characterized anthropogenic debris including microplastics in the stomachs and intestines of giant freshwater prawns collected from the Trang River in southern Thailand, finding 370 total pieces across examined specimens.

Microplastics in the tissues of commercial semi-intensive shrimp pond-farmed Litopenaeus vannamei from the Gulf of California ecoregion
Researchers conducted the first study of microplastics in the gastrointestinal tract, gills, and exoskeleton of farmed whiteleg shrimp from commercial aquaculture facilities in northwestern Mexico. The study found an average of 18.5 microplastic items per shrimp across all tissues examined. The findings suggest that semi-intensive shrimp farming operations are a source of microplastic contamination in commercially harvested seafood.
Accumulation of microplastics in stomach, intestine, and tissue of two shrimp species (Metapenaeus moyebi and Macrobrachium rosenbergii) at the Khlong U-Taphao, southern Thailand
Researchers investigated microplastic accumulation in the stomach, intestine, and tissue of two shrimp species (Metapenaeus moyebi and Macrobrachium rosenbergii) collected from the Khlong U-Taphao waterway in southern Thailand. The study characterized the types and distribution of microplastics across different body compartments of both commercially important shrimp species.
Temporal variability of microplastics in shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), feed, water and sediments of coastal and inland culture ponds
This study tracked microplastic contamination in farmed shrimp, their feed, water, and pond sediment across 12 shrimp farms in India over a four-month growing period. Microplastics were found in over 93% of shrimp samples, with feed identified as the primary source of contamination. Since shrimp are one of the most widely consumed seafood products globally, these findings raise concerns about microplastic exposure for consumers.
Microplastic Contamination in the Tissue of Giant Freshwater Prawns Macrobrachium rosenbergii, Thailand
Microfiber contamination was investigated in giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) tissues from the Trang River in Thailand, with samples from head, middle, and tail sections of 60 prawns digested in 10% KOH. An average of 3.50 microplastic particles per prawn was found, with polymer types confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy.
Characterization of Microplastic Contamination of Whiteleg Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) Cultivation in North Lombok, Indonesia
Researchers characterized microplastic contamination in farmed whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), measuring particle abundance, size distribution, polymer types, and potential human dietary exposure through shrimp consumption. Microplastics were found throughout shrimp tissues, with implications for seafood safety.
Microplastics in farmed and wild Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) from Diverse Aquatic Environments in Bangladesh
Researchers examined freshwater prawns from both farmed and wild sources in southwestern Bangladesh and found microplastics in all samples, with farmed prawns containing significantly more particles than wild-caught ones. The most common types were fibers smaller than 0.5 mm, with polyvinyl stearate and polyethylene-propylene-diene as the predominant polymers, raising concerns about seafood safety in the region.
A preliminary study of the association between colonization of microorganism on microplastics and intestinal microbiota in shrimp under natural conditions
Microplastics were detected in shrimp pond sediment (5,129 ± 1,176 items/kg) and in Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp tissue (14.08 ± 5.70 items/g), with MP abundance positively correlated between sediments and shrimp, and the microbiome on plastic surfaces differing from the shrimps' intestinal microbiota.
Microplastic study on (litopenaeus vannamei) cultivation enterprises on the east coast of aceh
Researchers sampled vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) from three cultivation stations on Aceh's east coast (Pidie, Pidie Jaya, and Bireuen) and analyzed microplastic content using H2O2/H2SO4 digestion and microscopy at 40x magnification. They found fiber and film microplastics in all shrimp samples, with the highest count (13 particles) at the Pidie station, indicating microplastic contamination has entered commercial aquaculture supply chains.
Assessment of microplastic contamination in clams and shrimp from estuarine environments of Goa: implications for environmental health and food safety
Researchers examined clams and shrimp from estuarine environments in Goa, India, and found microplastics present in both species and their surrounding waters, with shrimp from one site showing particularly high contamination and bioaccumulation. The particles were predominantly polyamide, polyethylene, and polystyrene fibers and fragments, likely originating from fishing, tourism, and waste disposal activities. The findings raise concerns about food safety for local and tourist populations who regularly consume seafood from these coastal areas.

This review provides a deep dive into microplastic occurrence in shrimp, covering detection methods and potential ripple effects through the food chain. The study highlights that microplastics smaller than 5 mm are pervasive in marine aquaculture environments and accumulate in commercially important shellfish species consumed by humans.
Distribution Patterns and Human Exposure Risks of Microplastics in Dominant Wild Edible Shrimp: A Case Study of Haizhou Bay Marine Ranch
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in dominant wild shrimp species in Haizhou Bay, China, characterizing the types, sizes, and concentrations of MPs found in their bodies and assessing the human dietary exposure risks from consuming these economically important seafood species.
Accumulation and damage of polyethylene-microplastics to the digestive system of juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp exposed through feed
Researchers fed juvenile Pacific white shrimp diets containing polyethylene microplastics at varying concentrations for 28 days. While survival and growth were not affected, microplastics accumulated in the digestive system and caused tissue damage to the hepatopancreas and intestine, suggesting that even without visible growth effects, microplastic ingestion can cause internal harm to commercially important crustacean species.
Microplastic Contamination in Shrimps from the Negombo Lagoon - Sri Lanka
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in 120 samples of two shrimp species (Penaeus monodon and Penaeus indicus) from ten locations in the Negombo Lagoon, Sri Lanka, identifying an average of 8.29 items per gram in P. monodon and 5.52 items per gram in P. indicus. The study documented the types, colors, and sizes of the 415 microplastic items found, providing baseline contamination data for a commercially important coastal lagoon.
Abundance, characteristics and seasonal variation of microplastics in Indian white shrimps (Fenneropenaeus indicus) from coastal waters off Cochin, Kerala, India
Researchers examined microplastic contamination and seasonal variation in the commercially important Indian white shrimp from coastal waters off Cochin, India, over 12 months. The study detected microplastics in shrimp tissues, predominantly fibers, with an average of 0.39 particles per shrimp, suggesting that even commercially harvested seafood species carry microplastic contamination.
