Ingestion of microplastics and natural fibres in Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792) and Engraulis encrasicolus (Linnaeus, 1758) along the Spanish Mediterranean coast
Microplastics and natural fibers were found in the digestive tracts of European sardines and anchovies collected from 14 stations along the Spanish Mediterranean coast, with microplastics present in about 15% of individuals. The study documents widespread but variable microplastic ingestion in two commercially important small pelagic fish species that are key components of Mediterranean food webs and human diets.

Researchers examined microplastic and anthropogenic particle contamination in the digestive tracts of European anchovies and sardines from Spanish waters, finding widespread ingestion of synthetic particles in these commercially important fish species.
Identifikasi Keberadaan Mikroplastik Pada Ikan Tamban (Sardinella fimbriata) di Pelabuhan Bongkar Muat Tanjung Moco
Researchers identified and characterised microplastics in the digestive tracts of tamban fish (Sardinella fimbriata) caught at Tanjung Moco Harbour in Indonesia, a country identified as among the world's largest contributors to marine plastic pollution. The study documented microplastic presence, morphology, colour, and polymer composition in the fish samples, highlighting the potential for microplastic contamination to enter local seafood supply chains.
Microplásticos en la sardina Sardinella aurita (Teleostei: Clupeidae) en Sucre, Venezuela
Researchers evaluated microplastic presence in the stomach contents of 800 round sardinella (Sardinella aurita) collected off Sucre, Venezuela in April-May 2022, investigating correlations between microplastic ingestion and the physiological and reproductive condition of the fish.
Plastics occurrence in juveniles of Engraulis encrasicolus and Sardina pilchardus in the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea
Researchers detected plastics on the external surface and in the gastrointestinal tracts of juvenile sardines and anchovies from the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, with sardines showing higher average counts (0.53 items per fish) than anchovies (0.26 items per fish).
Contamination from microplastics and other anthropogenic particles in the digestive tracts of the commercial species Engraulis encrasicolus and Sardina pilchardus
Researchers compiled a dataset of microplastics and anthropogenic particles found in the stomach contents of anchovy and sardines in the Gulf of Cadiz (Europe), recording particle characteristics alongside fish biometric data, geographic coordinates, and distances to major river mouths and coastal cities.
Contamination from microplastics and other anthropogenic particles in the digestive tracts of the commercial species Engraulis encrasicolus and Sardina pilchardus
Researchers compiled a dataset of microplastics and anthropogenic particles found in the stomach contents of anchovy and sardines in the Gulf of Cadiz (Europe), recording particle characteristics alongside fish biometric data, geographic coordinates, and distances to major river mouths and coastal cities.
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.
Assessing the Educational Significance of Microplastic Impact on Sardinella gibbosa: Implications for Marine Sustainability and Public Health in Caraga Region, Philippines
Scientists found that 3 out of 4 fish (75%) caught off the coast of the Philippines had eaten tiny plastic pieces called microplastics, mostly plastic fibers from things like old fishing nets. This matters because people who eat these contaminated fish might also be consuming microplastics, though more research is needed to understand the health risks. The study shows how widespread plastic pollution has become in our oceans and food chain.
Microplastics occurrence in edible fish species (Mullus barbatus and Merluccius merluccius) collected in three different geographical sub-areas of the Mediterranean Sea
Researchers examined the gastrointestinal tracts of 229 demersal fish from two Mediterranean species across three geographic sub-areas, finding microplastics in a significant portion of individuals with fibers as the dominant type. The study contributes to growing evidence that microplastic ingestion is widespread in commercially fished Mediterranean species.
