Ecological and health risks of microplastic contamination in edible fish from the Musi River Palembang, Indonesia
Researchers found microplastics in all ten fish species sampled from Indonesia's Musi River, with fragment-shaped PET, PE, and PVC particles being most common, though current consumption levels still put fish-eating locals in a low health-risk category. The findings underscore the need for ongoing monitoring and better plastic waste management to prevent risk from increasing over time.
Identification of Characteristics, Abundance, Color, and Size of Microplastics in Shellfish in the Coastal Waters of Galesong Beach
Researchers identified and characterized microplastics in shellfish from the coastal waters of Galesong Beach in Indonesia, finding an average abundance of 4,258 items per individual mussel. The microplastics were predominantly fragments and fibers in red, blue, and black colors, with sizes ranging from 0.5 to 10.5 millimeters. The study raises concerns about human exposure to microplastics through seafood consumption in the region, given the high daily intake rates of shellfish by local communities.

This Indonesian study examined microplastic contamination in freshwater mussels (Pilsbryoconcha exilis) from the Peranap River, finding that plastic debris in the river was a major source of microplastic exposure for these filter-feeding animals. The results raise concerns about microplastic accumulation in organisms consumed by local communities.
Presence and abundance of microplastics in edible freshwater mussel (Batissa violacea) on Fiji’s main island of Viti Levu
Microplastics were found in 100% of freshwater mussels (Batissa violacea) sampled from five rivers on Fiji's main island, with average site concentrations ranging considerably between rivers. The study represents the first documentation of microplastic contamination in Fijian freshwater mussels, raising concerns about food safety for communities that rely on this bivalve as a protein source.

This Indonesian study identified microplastics in water, sediment, and bivalves in the lower Brantas River. Plastic fragments and fibers were found across all sample types, raising food safety concerns since local communities consume shellfish from this waterway.
Determination of Microplastic Compounds in Some Species of Freshwater Snails in Brantas River, East Java, Indonesia
This study examined microplastic contamination in three freshwater gastropod species from Indonesia's Brantas River system, documenting MP abundance and polymer types across sampling sites and species to assess contamination patterns in edible freshwater snails consumed locally.
Microplastics Dissemination from Fish Mugil dussumieri and Mangrove Water of Muara Teluknaga, Tangerang, Banten
Researchers found microplastics in the mullet fish Mugil dussumieri and in mangrove water in Indonesia, documenting the presence of plastic contamination across both a commercially important fish species and a sensitive coastal ecosystem. The findings raise concerns about microplastic exposure for communities that rely on mangrove fisheries.
Keberadaan mikroplastik pada kerang darah (Anadara granosa) dari TPI Tambak Lorok, Semarang
Researchers in Semarang, Indonesia, found microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) sold at a local fish market, with fibers and fragments being the most common types identified under microscopy. The study also tested whether washing the shellfish before analysis affected results, finding contamination was present regardless. Because blood cockles are a widely consumed seafood in the region and are filter feeders that concentrate particles from the water column, this finding signals a direct route for microplastic ingestion by local populations.
Investigation of Microplastic Exposure to Marine Fish in the Marine Tourism Area of Makassar City

THE RELATIONSHIP OF MICROPLASTIC ABUNDANCE IN GREEN MUSSEL Perna viridis AND THE WATERS OF MANGKANG BEACH, SEMARANG
A study of green mussels (Perna viridis) farmed in a coastal area of Semarang, Indonesia found microplastics in both the surrounding water and mussel tissue, with statistical analysis confirming a significant relationship between water contamination levels and mussel body burden. Because green mussels are widely consumed locally, this finding highlights a direct pathway for microplastic exposure through seafood in the region.

Microplastics Contamination in the Kalirejo Coastal Area, East Java, Indonesia and their Presence in Green Mussels (Perna viridis)
Researchers surveyed the waters and green mussels along the Kalirejo coast in East Java, Indonesia, and found microplastics in all samples, with higher concentrations at shallower depths. Polyethylene fragments were the most common type, and there was a strong correlation between microplastic levels in the water and in mussel tissues, indicating the animals absorb plastics directly from their environment. The findings raise concerns about both ecological impacts and potential health risks from consuming contaminated shellfish in this major mussel farming region.
