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.

Analisis Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Saluran Pencernaan Ikan Di Ppi Selili Samarinda Kalimantan Timur

Researchers examined the digestive tracts of five commercially important fish species caught at a fish landing site in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, and found microplastics in all of them, with fibres and fragments being the most common types. This documents microplastic contamination in seafood from Indonesian waters and raises concerns about human dietary exposure through fish consumption.

Microplastics in Pelagic and Demersal Fishes of Pantai Baron, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Microplastics were found in the digestive tracts of both surface-dwelling and bottom-feeding fish from a beach in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with fibers being the most common type. The findings indicate widespread microplastic contamination in Indonesian coastal waters that fish — and ultimately people — are ingesting.

Quantification, identification, and chemical characterization of microplastics (MPs) in commercial fishes from the Palk Strait, Southeast India

Researchers examined microplastics in the tissues and guts of 75 commercially important fish from the Palk Strait in Southeast India, finding an average of 115 particles per individual. Fibers were the most common form at 51%, with polyethylene and polypropylene as the dominant polymers, and particle sizes ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 millimeters. The presence of microplastics in edible fish tissues suggests a potential route of human exposure through seafood consumption.

Microplastics Contamination in Commercial Fish Landed at Tasikagung Rembang Coastal Fishing Port, Central Java, Indonesia

Researchers examined three commercial fish species (Decapterus sp., Priacanthus tayenus, Nemipterus sp.) landed at a coastal port in Central Java, Indonesia, for microplastics in their gills, digestive tracts, and flesh. Microplastics were detected across tissues and species, with shape, color, size, and polymer composition characterized, contributing to baseline data on MP exposure in Indonesian marine fish.

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 Occurrence in Different Fish Organs from Two Coastal Waters in Java Sea, Indonesia

Researchers assessed microplastic accumulation in the gut and gill tissues of six economically important fish species from Jakarta Bay and Cirebon Bay in Indonesia. They found microplastics present in all samples, with variations in abundance and polymer type across species and locations. The study raises concerns about the potential transfer of microplastics to human consumers through commercially harvested fish in the Java Sea region.

Karakteristik Mikroplastik pada Ikan Kakatua Anglu (Chlorurus sordidus) dan Ikan Kurisi Sirip Pucat (Nemipterus thosaporni) di Perairan Teluk Jakarta

Microplastics were found in the gastrointestinal tracts of two fish species with different feeding habits caught in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia, with both herbivorous parrotfish and carnivorous threadfin bream affected. The findings indicate that microplastic ingestion in Jakarta Bay fisheries is widespread across the food chain, with implications for seafood safety in the region.

Occurrence, distribution and characteristics of microplastics in gastrointestinal tract and gills of commercial marine fish from Malaysia

Researchers examined 158 commercial marine fish from 16 species in Malaysia and found microplastics in the gastrointestinal tracts and gills of all species studied. Fibers were the most common microplastic type, and the contamination levels varied between sampling locations. The findings add to growing evidence that microplastics are widespread in commercially important fish species, raising questions about the potential for human exposure through seafood consumption.
