Microplastics in Oreochromis Niloticus: An Abundance Study and Health Risk Assessment Around the Gajah Mungkur Reservoir

Researchers characterized microplastics in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from the Gajah Mungkur Reservoir in Indonesia and conducted individual-based carcinogenic health risk assessments for local fish consumers. Microplastics were predominantly blue fibers, with polystyrene and PTFE most common, and the risk assessment indicated potential carcinogenic risk at typical consumption levels.

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.

Analysis of abundance of microplastic in fish caught in Percut Waters

Researchers analyzed the abundance of microplastics in fish caught in Percut Waters along the coast of North Sumatra, finding that microplastics have accumulated in fish tissues as a result of anthropogenic activities in the area. The study contributes to understanding the extent of microplastic contamination in coastal fisheries of Indonesia.

Presence of microplastic in target species of small scale fisheries and possible social implications on the local communities

A study of small-scale fisheries found microplastics in commercially important fish species, with species that range widely accumulating more plastic particles than more sedentary fish. Interviews with local fishing communities revealed that fishers who rely on these fish for daily food — rather than just for sale — face disproportionate health risks from microplastic exposure. This research links ecological contamination directly to food security and human health vulnerability in coastal communities.

Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Ikan Pelagis Dan Demersal Yang Didaratkan Di Pelabuhan Perikanan Banjar Raya Banjarmasin Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan

Researchers examined microplastic contamination in both pelagic and demersal fish landed at a fishing port in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, finding an average of 8.3 microplastic particles per pelagic individual and 5.1 per demersal individual with moderate overall pollution levels. Fibres and fragments were the dominant forms detected. These findings demonstrate that commercially caught fish in Indonesian waters carry microplastics into the human food supply.

Microplastic contamination in highly consumed wild and cultured Asian seabass from a subtropical coastal region: Exposure and consumer risk assessment

Researchers compared microplastic contamination in wild and farmed Asian seabass from a subtropical coastal region and found plastic particles in the muscle tissue of both groups. Wild fish had slightly higher contamination levels than farmed fish, with polyethylene being the most common plastic type and most particles smaller than half a millimeter. The study includes a consumer risk assessment suggesting that regular consumption of this popular seafood species results in meaningful microplastic exposure for humans.
