“…Most of the recent studies on the assessment of MP uptake and accumulation in fish are focused on the detection of particles in the GIT. However, due to the fact that MPs can also get transferred in various organs through the bloodstream and lymph [ 16 ], they have been detected in the gills, liver, muscle tissue, gonads, and brain of freshwater fish [ 59 , 60 , 61 ]. These findings confirm the global significance of plastic pollution in the aquatic environment and highlights the need for quantitative assessments of MP ingestion, accumulation, and trophic transfer in freshwater food resources.…”

This study analyzed microplastics in the gastrointestinal tract of Siberian dace (Leuciscus leuciscus subsp. baicalensis (Dybowski, 1874)) in the remote Yenisei tributary of the Nizhnyaya (Lower) Tunguska River (Siberia, Russia). µRaman analysis showed that 60% of the fish from two different sites had ingested plastic microparticles (on average, 1.55 ± 1.95 items per individual). The most common type of microplastic were fibers, and the most abundant size category was 300 to 1000 µm. In the studied population, no significant differences in the MP content between the two sites or between males and females were found (p > 0.05). The tendency for higher MP ingestion by Siberian dace at earlier ages (2+ and 3+) compared to later (4+ and 5+) was observed, which may be connected to the features of the fish biology and ecology.

“…Based on our observations, microplastics were found in various organs of milkfish and chub mackerel. Based on the results of previous research by [16] regarding the accumulation of microplastics in the organs of tilapia, microplastics are commonly found in the gills, stomach, and intestines. Therefore, in this study researchers focused on these three types of organs.…”

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.

“…Large amounts of MPs have been found existing in organisms low on the food chain, such as mussels and zooplankton (Browne et al ., 2008; Setälä et al ., 2014). Moreover, MPs can enter the animal's blood, lymphatic system (Browne et al ., 2008) and liver (Aryani et al ., 2021). They also cause damage to animal's intestinal tract and reproductive system (Vo and Pham, 2021).…”

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has been a hot research topic in recent years. MPs are ubiquitous throughout the ecological environment and are eventually accumulated in organisms through inhalation or ingestion. However, given that MPs are inert pollutants, their effects on organisms are not clear. In previous study, we have investigated the effects of polyethylene terephthalate MPs on physiology of Drosophila. What is the effect of polypropylene microplastics (PP-MPs)? The results of our experiments show that being exposed to high concentration of PP-MPs have significant effect on Drosophila. PP-MPs exposure can significantly increase locomotor activity and shorten the time of group sleep in Drosophila. In the presence of high concentrations of PP-MPs, the triglyceride content was reduced in females and their ability of egg production was affected. However, there was no significant effect on the level of protein and carbohydrate, or on the food intake. Our experimental results can provide some preliminary data for assessing the potential hazard of PP-MPs to other organisms.
