Incremento de la contaminación por microplásticos en aguas superficiales de la bahía de Buenaventura, Pacífico colombiano

Abstract: La contaminación por microplásticos (MP) en los ecosistemas costeros es un grave problema alrededor del mundo. En Colombia existe poca información sobre este contaminante, especialmente para la costa pacífica. Por lo anterior, se determinó la densidad, distribución y tipos de MP en la superficie del agua del estuario de la bahía de Buenaventura, principal puerto de Colombia. Se recolectaron 36 muestras en dos sectores: Estuario Interno (EI), más cercano a la principal zona urbana y la desembocadura de ríos y e… Show more

“…This may be due to the fact that the coastal areas of the Colombian Paci c are immersed in a problem due to poor management of both solid and liquid waste, due to the lack of provision of public sanitation services, as well as waste treatment systems, which converges in the contamination of the estuaries of the bays of Buenaventura and Tumaco. Regarding the climatic periods, there were differences in MP consumption in Tumaco, in the season of low precipitation for the Sciaenidae family, which may be due since in this season, the water with higher salinity is more dense, bringing the particles a oat (Tálamo et al, 2016;Vidal et al, 2021;Arboleda et al, 2024, Bas, 2020. Although the Ariidae family did not present differences in consumption by climatic seasons, this family was the one that presented the highest MP intake during the study, this is because the species of this family have omnivorous-benthic habits (Bentacur-Rodríguez & Acero, 2004), which generates a greater risk of MP consumption (Hernández-Morales et al, 2018).…”

“…Al comparar espacialmente, se observó que con el anzuelo se obtuvo una mayor CPUE total en la zona externa del estuario. Esto, en parte, puede atribuir-se a un bajo rendimiento pesquero en la zona interna por la in uencia de la contaminación proveniente de los asentamientos costeros (Arteaga et al, 2021;Duque y Cogua, 2016;Gamboa-García et al, 2018b;García, 2010;García et al, 2021;Tafurt et al, 2021;Vásquez-Molano et al, 2021;Vidal et al, 2021). Adicionalmente, se debe tener en cuenta el desplazamiento a las áreas de pesca puesto que, en la zona externa, se presentó un leve aumento en la CPUE de objetivo, pero es un área lejana que puede implicar más gastos de combustible.…”

“…La presencia de microplásticos en el Pacífico colombiano ha sido previamente documentada en agua (Arboleda et al, 2022;Vidal et al, 2021) y en sedimentos (Vásquez-Molano et al, 2021); asimismo, se ha evidenciado la ingesta incidental de microplásticos en peces (Becerra et al, 2022;Herrera et al, 2022;Tafurt et al, 2021). En este estudio se determinó que las mayores ingestas de microplásticos ocurrieron en el área interna del estuario.…”
