“…Microplastics in body fish could enter through the digestive system and respiratory systems [10], either directly or indirectly. Plastic particles are ingested immediately when fish cannot distinguish between plastic and their prey.…”

“…The study was conducted on the gills, stomach, and intestines because previous research showed that microplastic content was found in these organs. Fish cannot avoid the presence of microplastics in water, so microplastics attach to the gills through absorption [10]. Most of the fish found in the gills and digestive tract contain fiber-type microplastics with a size >1000 µm [11].…”

Microplastics are plastic particles <5mm from various sources. Fish contaminated by microplastics is a threat to food safety which microplastics contain toxicants. It is harmful to human health when consumed. Milkfish and Chub mackerel as consumption fish that can be easily found in some aquaculture ponds and marine water. The Previous study shows that microplastic content founded in the gill, stomach, and intestines. This study aims to determine microplastic content, microplastic abundance, and the correlation of organ weight with microplastic abundance in Milkfish and Chub mackerel. The methods used were descriptive qualitative. Milkfish and Chub mackerel samples were obtained from Rau Market, Serang City. The stages of the research carried with sampling, measuring, dissecting, dissolving, separating microplastic particles, filtering particles, and direct visual identification using a microscope. The results of the study found microplastics in the gills, intestines, and stomachs of milkfish and chub mackerel. In milkfish, most microplastic was found in the stomach (126 pieces), followed by the gill (111 pieces), and the intestine (65 pieces). While in chub mackerel, microplastics were mostly found in the gills (232 pieces, followed by the stomach (137 pieces), and the intestine (122 pieces). The types of microplastics found were fragments, films, and fibers. The number of microplastic types of fragments, films, and fibers with the colors of microplastics varied i.e. red, white, black, green, and yellow. There was no correlation between organ weight and microplastic abundance.

Microplastics (MPs) have been found in the organs of various animals in water environments. However, studies on ingestion and the effects of MPs in fish larvae are still limited. Larval fish of Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) were employed to demonstrate ingestion, elimination, and initial effect of MPs after short-term exposure. Three weeks post-hatching (wph) larvae were exposed to fluorescent polystyrene microplastic beads (PS-MPs; diameter 1 μm) for 72 hours (exposure phase), then reared in MP-free freshwater for the next 72 hours (elimination phase). The larvae were sampled at several time points during the experiment. Sampled larvae were fixed, transparentized, and observed under a fluorescent microscope. MPs were detected predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Subsequently, MPs were counted using the fluorescence microscope. MPs were highly ingested during the exposure phase and still detected in the GIT after 72 hours of the elimination phase. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity was also measured to examine the initial effect of MP exposure in larvae. ROS levels in larvae that ingested MPs were significantly higher than in non-exposure larvae. These results indicate that MPs remain in GIT for more than 72 hours, and short-term MP exposure can induce ROS activity in O. latipes larvae.
