The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) in all oceans has become a significant threat to nature as global plastic production continues to increase. Now, and over the next 20 to 30 years, it is the time to address the consequences of the rise of the plastic industry global production of millions of items, ranging from a single pen to automobiles. Inappropriate management, lack of awareness of the harmful effects, reckless universal use, and indiscriminate disposal of plastics have turned the earth into a "plastic planet”. The aim of the present study review is to identify the scenarios for the structure, and functions of MPs and the resulting impacts on marine organisms. The different origins of MPs in the oceans and their negative impacts on marine organisms are critically discussed in this review. Due to their small size, these plastic particles are easily ingested by a wide range of marine organisms (e.g., fish, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Annelida, Echinodermata, Nematoda, phytoplankton, zooplankton, algae, birds, Mammalia, marine reptiles, and corals), posing a threat to their health. The ability of MPs to absorb a variety of hazardous hydrophobic chemicals from the environment allows transfers these toxins to enter directly into the food chain, ultimately becoming a threat to human health. As a result, numerous policies and laws have been created to address the major problems of marine pollution. However, these regulations need to be improved and implemented worldwide. To avert future threats, it is crucial to stop the production of toxic chemicals associated to the production of plastics and replaces them with environmentally suitable alternatives.

Aquaculture is a growing fisheries sector. Along with the growth of aquaculture, water quality problems become one of the main factors that need to be considered, especially related to pollution pressure. Microplastic (MPs) is a pollutant sourced from anthropogenic activities and is currently in the spotlight and has been widely studied in aquatic environments around the world. However, in Indonesia, research related to MP especially in term of aquaculture activities is still lacking. The presence of MP in aquaculture activities can originate from internal sources such as the use of unmaintained aquaculture equipment/facilities and the use of feed contaminated with MP. Then, the external source of MP at the cultivation location can come from water sources that come from an environment that has been previously polluted by MP. Maintenance of aquaculture equipment/facilities, search for alternative feed raw microplastic free materials and protection of the aquatic environment from MPs are some of the ways to reduce the presence of MP in aquaculture sites. The existence of MP in aquaculture activities is related to food safety of aquaculture commodities.

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MPs) across all oceans has emerged as a significant marine hazard as worldwide plastic production continues to grow. Now and during the next 20-30 years will be the time to confront the implications of the plastic industry's rise, which has resulted in the large-scale global production of millions of plastic-based items, varying from a single pen to automobiles. Inappropriate management, lack of awareness of the detrimental effects, reckless universal use, and the indiscriminate disposal of plastic based synthetic materials, has turned Earth into a "plastic planet”. It is critical to have a throughout understanding of MPs' potential from sink to source as well as the processes that govern their distribution and uptake and exchange in ecosystems, to properly comprehend their potential consequences and ecological harm. The goal of the present study was to identify the scenarios of microplastics structure, functions and subsequent impact to the marine organisms. Diversified origins of MPs in the oceans and their negative effects on marine animals have been discussed critically in this review. Because of their small size, these plastic particles are easily ingested by a wide range of marine life (e.g., fish, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Annelida, Echinodermata, Nematoda, phytoplankton, zooplankton, algae, birds, Mammalia, marine reptiles, and coral), putting their health at risk. The ability of MPs to absorb a variety of dangerous hydrophobic chemicals from the environment directly transfers these toxins into the food chain. As a result, many laws and rules have been created to address the major issue of MP pollution in the marine ecosystem and it must be improved and implemented worldwide. To avert future dangers, it is critical to stop producing it and replace it with environmentally suitable alternatives.
