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.

Kajian Mikroplastik Pada Ikan Ekonomis di Pasar Tradisional Kota Palu

Researchers sampled fish sold at four traditional markets in Palu City, Indonesia, and found microplastics in the digestive systems of two commonly eaten species: mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) contained plastic flakes, while rabbitfish (Siganus canaliculatus) contained both flakes and fibers at higher concentrations. Because these fish are widely consumed locally, the findings raise direct concerns about human dietary exposure to microplastics through seafood.
