“…3f; Table 4). Discharge of drainage water from the surrounding areas might have influenced the elevated level of turbidity in the river system (Das et al, 2021). Dissolved oxygen (DO) level was found ranging from 6.05 mg/L to 7.24 mg/L with a mean value of 6.86 ± 0.47 mg/L (Table 4) which was within the thresholds set by WHO (2017).…”

“…High and fluctuating temperatures, together with high conductivity, suggest a significant load of chemical substances from the deposition of domestic wastewater and runoff from agriculture and livestock. The low alkalinity registered indicates a potential process of acidification of the lake, and the reduced value of the dissolved oxygen potential affects the respiration of aquatic biota [86]. By collecting data on the presence and concentration of MPs in different areas of the lake over time, patterns and trends can be identified, and a more complete understanding of the environmental impacts caused by MPs can be obtained.…”

Following global trends, research to determine the presence and abundance of microplastics (MPs) in environmental matrices in Colombia has focused on the coastal and marine environments. However, little scientific information is available on the impact of this pollutant on wetlands and fish. In this study, we provided scientific data on the occurrence and abundance of MPs in water and fish from Tocagua Lake, an important wetland in the Colombian Caribbean, and the unique habitat of wild cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus). Water (72) and fish (228 individuals of six species) samples were collected during four sampling events and two climatic seasons (wet and dry). A total of 1174 microplastic particles were collected in water with an average abundance of microplastics at the six stations sampled during four sampling events of 0.96 ± 0.40 MPs/L, and 648 MPs were identified in the gastrointestinal tract of 191 individuals, corresponding to a frequency of occurrence of 83.7%. Black- and blue-colored fiber MPs were particles that predominated in both matrices (water and fish), and seven types of polymers were identified through attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. The abundance, type, and color of MPs in water and fish were not significantly different between seasons.
