Microplastics in Sediment and Digestive Tract of Amazon Sailfin Catfish (Pterygoplichthys Spp.) in the middle segment of the Citarum River, Karawang, West Java, Indonesia
Researchers investigated microplastic types, abundance, and polymer composition in sediment and the digestive tracts of Amazon sailfin catfish (Pterygoplichthys spp.) collected from the middle segment of the Citarum River, West Java, Indonesia, across three sampling events in 2022. They found average abundances of 602 particles/kg in sediment and 90.6 particles/individual in fish, with pellets, films, fibres, and fragments all present, and polymers including polyamide, polystyrene, and polypropylene identified.
Pervasiveness of microplastics in the gastrointestinal tract of some selected fish species from Turag River alongside the capital city of Bangladesh
Researchers found microplastics in all three species of fish collected from the Turag River near Dhaka, Bangladesh, with fiber being the dominant type at 89-93% of all particles found. The most common plastics identified were polypropylene, polystyrene, and low-density polyethylene, with the majority of particles smaller than 0.5 mm. Since these freshwater fish are a major protein source for local communities, the contamination raises concerns about microplastic exposure through the food supply in urban areas of developing countries.
Microplastic pollution in the gastrointestinal tract of giant river catfish Sperata seenghala (Sykes, 1839) from the Meghna River, Bangladesh
