“…Studies conducted by (Zaki et al, 2021) also found the presence of polymers. Polyamide in fish was also found in research conducted by (Salazar-Pérez et al, 2021), (Bessa et al, 2018), and (Karuppasamy et al, 2020).…”

Microplastics are a form of new pollution that the Indonesian people are not aware of. The factors for the entry of microplastics into pond waters are water sources, anthropogenic activities, and pond cleanliness. The purpose of this study was to determine the abundance of microplastics, the color and shape of microplastics, and the types of microplastic polymers found in sediment, water, and the digestive tract of milkfish (Chanos chanos) in Sidoarjo ponds. The average abundance of microplastics in sediment samples obtained from semi-intensive ponds is 300 particles per 50 grams, while the sediment samples from traditional ponds are 613 particles per 50 grams. The average abundance of microplastics in the semi-intensive pond water samples was 2.1 particles per 20 liters and in traditional ponds was 2.3 particles per 20 liters. The average abundance of microplastics in the milkfish (Chanos chanos) samples from the Semi-Intensive Pond was as many as 6 particles per tail, while the Traditional Pond had 9.5 particles per tail. In this study, four colors of microplastics were found, namely blue, black, red, and transparent, while the microplastics obtained were fiber, fragment, and filament. The types of microplastic polymers encountered in this study were dominated by polyamide or nylon polymers. In sediment samples from both ponds, we found the presence of Polyamide or Nylon polymers, namely Polystyrene and Polyamide or Nylon, and in the digestive tract of milkfish (Chanos chanos), namely Polyamide or Nylon.

“…In recent years, several studies have been published on the ingestion of microplastic by marine wildlife in India. Bioaccumulation of microplastics in mesopelagic and epipelagic fish, Indian edible oyster, Indian white shrimp, bivalves, and in some commercially important fish and other marine wildlife has been documented very recently ( Patterson et al, 2019 ; Daniel et al, 2020 ; Dowarah et al, 2020 ; James et al, 2020 ; Karuppasamy et al, 2020 ; Sathish et al, 2020 ). When PPE is subjected to mechanical forces, they becomes smaller and therefore can be easily consumed by marine organisms ( De-la-Torre et al, 2021b ).…”

“…Because of their microscopic size, micro-and nanoparticles could find in phagocytosis or endocytosis the preferred route of absorption. The occurrence of microplastics (<5 mm in diameter) and mesoplastics (5-20 mm in diameter) in the gastrointestinal tract of some commercially pelagic, demersal and reef fishes collected from Southeast coast of the Bay of Bengal was observed by Karuppasamy et al [162]. According to the custom of the Indian population to consume dry fish, the presence of microplastics in the fish gut is, in this case, a potential serious human health concern, as they are directly consumed.…”

Micro- and nano-plastic (MP/NP) pollution represents a threat not only to marine organisms and ecosystems, but also a danger for humans. The effects of these small particles resulting from the fragmentation of waste of various types have been well documented in mammals, although the consequences of acute and chronic exposure are not fully known yet. In this review, we summarize the recent results related to effects of MPs/NPs in different species of fish, both saltwater and freshwater, including zebrafish, used as model organisms for the evaluation of human health risk posed by MNPs. The expectation is that discoveries made in the model will provide insight regarding the risks of plastic particle toxicity to human health, with a focus on the effect of long-term exposure at different levels of biological complexity in various tissues and organs, including the brain. The current scientific evidence shows that plastic particle toxicity depends not only on factors such as particle size, concentration, exposure time, shape, and polymer type, but also on co-factors, which make the issue extremely complex. We describe and discuss the possible entry pathways of these particles into the fish body, as well as their uptake mechanisms and bioaccumulation in different organs and the role of blood response (hematochemical and hematological parameters) as biomarkers of micro- and nano-plastic water pollution.
