“…A study reported that Holothuria floridana , Thyonella gemmate , and Cucumaria frondose ingested 2–20 times more filter feeders have been reported to ingest MPs which decreases their filtration ability leading to effects like neurotoxicity and immunotoxicity (Mohsen et al 2019 ; Bulleri et al 2021 ). In 2019, marine biologists reported that seagrass beds in Makassar Strait, Indonesia, contain MP contaminants in the form of beads, pellets, fragments, and fibers (Tahir et al 2019 ). Zooplankton also ingests MP beads which upon excretion can stick to the exoskeleton and appendages (Hasegawa and Nakaoka 2021 ).…”

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous pollutants persisting almost everywhere in the environment. With the increase in anthropogenic activities, MP accumulation is increasing enormously in aquatic, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems. Owing to the slow degradation of plastics, MPs show an increased biomagnification probability of persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic substances thereby creating a threat to environmental biota. Thus, remediation of MP-pollutants requires efficient strategies to circumvent the mobilization of contaminants leaching into the water, soil, and ultimately to human beings. Over the years, several microorganisms have been characterized by the potential to degrade different plastic polymers through enzymatic actions. Metagenomics (MGs) is an effective way to discover novel microbial communities and access their functional genetics for the exploration and characterization of plastic-degrading microbial consortia and enzymes. MGs in combination with metatranscriptomics and metabolomics approaches are a powerful tool to identify and select remediation-efficient microbes in situ. Advancement in bioinformatics and sequencing tools allows rapid screening, mining, and prediction of genes that are capable of polymer degradation. This review comprehensively summarizes the growing threat of microplastics around the world and highlights the role of MGs and computational biology in building effective response strategies for MP remediation.

“…Dominasi warna biru dari mikroplastik juga ditemukan pada penelitian sebelumnya di ikan (Ory et al, 2017;Wicaksono et al, 2020). Selain itu, tingginya kelimpahan mikroplastik berwarna biru pada penelitian ini juga sesuai dengan penelitian sebelumnya di perairan Kepulauan Spermonde Makassar yaitu lamun (Datu et al, 2019), air laut (Afdal et al, 2019), dan sedimen (Tahir et al, 2019a). Setiap jenis ikan diketahui memiliki sensitivitas terhadap warna makanannya dan juga warna lingkungan (Zhang et al, 2015).…”

“…Translokasi mikroplastik dapat terjadi di dalam organ insang, saluran pencernaan, daging (Barboza et al, 2019). Akumulasi mikroplastik juga ditemukan pada organisme bentik di perairan Kepulauan Spermonde, Makassar (Tahir et al, 2019a) dan juga pada ikan konsumsi yang dikumpulkan di Pasar Ikan Paotere, Makassar (Rochman et al, 2015). Akumulasi mikroplastik di perairan laut tentunya memberikan ancaman terhadap kesehatan ikan-ikan ekonomis penting.…”

Mikroplastik (MP) telah ditemukan di berbagai lingkungan laut khususnya pada ikan, dan informasi terkait akumulasi mikroplastik pada organ-organ ikan masih sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan keberadaan mikroplastik pada organ insang, saluran pencernaan, dan daging ikan ekonomis penting (Hemiramphus far, Siganus virgatus, dan Lethrinus lentjan) di perairan Pulau Barranglompo, Makassar, serta mengidentifikasi karakteristik mikroplastik meliputi warna, bentuk, dan ukuran. Setiap organ diekstraksi menggunakan KOH 20% dan pengamatan karakteristik MP dilakukan secara visual menggunakan mikroskop stereo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mikroplastik ditemukan di insang, saluran pencernaan, dan daging dari ketiga spesies ikan. Tingkat deteksi mikroplastik pada masing-masing H. far, S. virgatus, dan L. lentjan adalah 100%, 100%, dan 82%. Karakteristik warna mikroplastik didominasi oleh biru, bentuk mikroplastik didominasi oleh line, dan kisaran ukuran mikroplastik didominasi 1–5 mm. Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk melihat akumulasi mikroplastik pada setiap organ secara eksperimental di laboratorium.

“…The particles currently existing in the Java sea are assumed to have originated from the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean (Handyman et al, 2019). Meanwhile, the microplastics found in the Spermonde Islands of Makassar Gulf were contaminating seagrass beds (Tahir et al, 2019) and Muara Jagir of Surabaya City (Firdaus et al, 2020). The fishes from Trichiurus sp.…”

Microplastics are pollutants, such as debris from human activities that contaminate several marine biotas and the environment. This research examined the occurrence of microplastic particles in the fish digestive tract in Ternate Island waters, Indonesia. The visual method carried out in the laboratory using a stereo microscope with a magnification of up to 40x was used to identify microplastics in the intestines and stomachs of fish. After observation, the pollutants were systematically counted in the range of 0.3-5 mm based on color, size, number, and shape. They were also classified into: 1) fragments, 2) films, 3) lines/fibers, 4) foams, and 5) pellets categories. Furthermore, six types of fishes including Epinephelus Fuscogutattus, Epinephelus coioides, Epinephelus suillus, Siganus canaliculatus, Synanceia, and Scarus Psittacus were collected from four sites, Kasturian, Kampung Makasar, Mangga dua, and Kalumata between August and September 2019. The results showed 183, represented by 83.18%, of the 220 reef fish individuals studied have ingested plastics. Moreover, a total of 594 plastic particles were found in the digestive tract of which 47.81% were fragments, 38.22% films, 2.69% foams, 2.36% fibers, 7.41% line, and 1.52% of 1.8 to 5 mm sized pellets. The color distribution in all locations include 46.80% transparent, 32.15% black, 5.56% pink, 6.06% yellow, 5.22% blue, and 4.21% red. The findings of this study provide the first evidence of microplastic contamination in reef fishes of the Ternate Island waters littoral zone -Indonesia.
