Kajian Mikroplastik Pada Ikan Ekonomis di Pasar Tradisional Kota Palu

Researchers sampled fish sold at four traditional markets in Palu City, Indonesia, and found microplastics in the digestive systems of two commonly eaten species: mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) contained plastic flakes, while rabbitfish (Siganus canaliculatus) contained both flakes and fibers at higher concentrations. Because these fish are widely consumed locally, the findings raise direct concerns about human dietary exposure to microplastics through seafood.

The presence of microplastics in the digestive tract of commercial fishes off Pantai Indah Kapuk coast, Jakarta, Indonesia

Commercial fish from nine species collected at the Pantai Indah Kapuk coast in Jakarta were dissected for microplastics, with 97.13% of 174 fish containing an average of ~12 particles per individual dominated by fibers and fragments of PE, PP, and PS. The study documents near-universal microplastic contamination in urban coastal fisheries in Indonesia with implications for seafood consumers.

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.

Risk Analysis of Microplastic in Fish (Nemiptus Japonicas & Rastrelliger Sp.) in Communities in the Coast Area of Tamasaju, Galesong Takalar

Indonesian researchers measured microplastics in two commercially caught fish species from a coastal community in Takalar, South Sulawesi, and conducted a risk assessment of microplastic exposure from fish consumption. The study found detectable microplastic levels and estimated that regular fish consumers in this area are exposed to measurable microplastic doses.

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.
