Microplastic contamination in the Skipjack Tuna (Euthynnus affinis) collected from Southern Coast of Java, Indonesia
Researchers examined the digestive tracts of skipjack tuna collected from the southern coast of Java, Indonesia, and found microplastics present in all sampled fish.

The findings raise concerns about microplastic contamination in commercially important fish species consumed by humans in the region.
Toxic tuna tales: Tracing microplastic pathways in mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis), longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol), and bullet tuna (Auxis rochei)
Researchers examined 125 tuna from three species in Malaysian waters and found microplastics in their digestive tracts, gills, and edible muscle tissue. Fibers were the most common type, and male fish accumulated more microplastics than females. Since tuna is one of the most widely consumed fish globally, the presence of microplastics in edible muscle tissue raises direct concerns about human exposure through seafood.
A Systematic Review of Microplastic Contamination in Tuna Species: General Pathways into the Food Chain with Ecotoxicological and Human Health Perspectives
This systematic review found that tuna species worldwide contain significant levels of microplastics, especially polyethylene and polypropylene, concentrated in their gills and digestive tracts. Since tuna is one of the most widely consumed fish globally, these findings mean that eating tuna is a direct route for microplastic exposure in the human diet.

Microplastic Bioaccumulation in Selected Finfish Species Harvested from Northwest Coastal Waters, Sri Lanka: A Potential Risk to Human Health?
Researchers analyzed microplastic bioaccumulation in edible and non-edible tissues of four finfish species from northwest coastal Sri Lanka, finding that 96% of samples were contaminated with particles in the 0.06-0.11 mm range. Tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) showed the highest MP levels in edible muscle tissue at 1.1 MP/g, raising concerns about human dietary exposure.
Identification of Microplastic in the Digestive Tracts of Mackerel Tuna, Lemuru and Sea Water from Pangandaran, Indonesia
Researchers examined the digestive tracts of mackerel tuna and lemuru fish from coastal waters in Pangandaran, Indonesia, and found microplastics in both species. Mackerel tuna contained mostly fragment-type microplastics while lemuru had primarily fiber-type particles, with polypropylene and polyester identified as the dominant polymer types. The study highlights the extent of microplastic contamination in commercially important fish species and the potential for human exposure through seafood consumption.
Microplastic Characteristic Found in Gastrointestinal Tract of Pelagic and Demersal Fishes in Tuban, East Java
Researchers found microplastics in the gastrointestinal tracts of both pelagic and demersal fish species, documenting plastic ingestion across different feeding guilds and ocean depths. The study adds to growing evidence of widespread microplastic contamination throughout marine food webs.
Identification of Microplastics in Euthynnus affinis in Kedonganan Area, Kuta, Badung, Bali
This study identified microplastics in the gastrointestinal tracts of Euthynnus affinis (mackerel tuna) sampled from Kedonganan, Bali, confirming microplastic contamination in commercially important fish from Indonesian coastal waters.
research data
Researchers compiled a complete microplastic particle dataset extracted from tissue samples of two commercially important marine fish species, Megalaspis cordyla and Katsuwonus pelamis (skipjack tuna), using standardized digestion and stereomicroscopy-based identification protocols.
Abundance and Characteristics of Microplastics Found in The Gastrointestinal Tract of Commercial Marine Fish from Bitung, North Sulawesi – Indonesia
Researchers analyzed microplastic abundance and characteristics in the gastrointestinal tracts of commercial marine fish from Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, providing baseline contamination data for commercially important species from a major Indonesian fisheries region.
Analisis Mikroplastik Pada Saluran Pencernaan Ikan Kembung (Rastrelliger Sp.) di Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera Belawan, Sumatera Utara
Indonesian researchers analyzed microplastics in the digestive tracts of mackerel fish landed at Belawan fishing port, examining both the characteristics of particles and their relationship to fish size. The presence of microplastics in commercially important fish species represents a direct pathway for human dietary exposure.
Assessment of microplastic contamination in an eastern Pacific tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and evaluation of its health risk implication through molecular docking and metabolomics studies
Researchers found microplastic contamination across multiple organs of skipjack tuna from the Eastern Pacific, with molecular docking and metabolomics analyses revealing potential health risks from microplastic-associated chemical exposure through seafood consumption.
