“…The inherent inconsistency in how data are analyzed and reported unfortunately creates confusion with respect to information used to help inform the decision‐making process and further limits the ability to perform detailed meta‐analyses of the data. Even when polymer composition is reported, many studies will include semisynthetic nonplastic fibers such as rayon in the total microplastic particle count (Lusher et al 2013; Carreras‐Colom et al 2018; Li et al 2018; Markic et al 2018), or they will acknowledge the challenge associated with distinguishing between natural and semisynthetic fibers, and not include them (Lusher et al 2015). It should also be noted that in some instances fibers are not reported at all because of their observation in laboratory procedural blanks (Goldstein and Goodwin 2013; De Witte et al 2014; Avio et al 2015; Rummel et al 2016; Ory et al 2017, 2018a; McNeish et al 2018).…”

Microplastic particles have been observed in the environment and routinely detected in the stomachs and intestines of aquatic organisms over the last 50 yr. In the present review, information on the ingestion of plastic debris of varying sizes is collated, including data for >800 species representing approximately 87 000 individual organisms, for which plastic debris and microplastic particles have been observed in approximately 17 500, or 20%. The average reported number of microplastic particles/individual across all studies is estimated to be 4, with studies typically reporting averages ranging from 0 to 10 particles/individual. A general observation is that although strong evidence exists for the biological ingestion of microplastic particles, they do not bioaccumulate and do not appear to be subject to biomagnification as a result of trophic transfer through food webs, with >99% of observations from field‐based studies reporting that microplastic particles are located within the gastrointestinal tract. Overall, there is substantial heterogeneity in how samples are collected, processed, analyzed, and reported, causing significant challenges in attempting to assess temporal and spatial trends or helping to inform a mechanistic understanding. Nevertheless, several studies suggest that the characteristics of microplastic particles ingested by organisms are generally representative of plastic debris in the vicinity where individuals are collected. Monitoring of spatial and temporal trends of ingested microplastic particles could thus potentially be useful in assessing mitigation efforts aimed at reducing the emission of plastic and microplastic particles to the environment. The development and application of standardized analytical methods are urgently needed to better understand spatial and temporal trends. Environ Toxicol Chem 2020;39:1119–1137. © 2020 The Authors.

“…Litter and especially plastic debris are a considerable source of persistent organic pollutants and chemical additives, which are toxic to marine species (Rochman et al, 2013). The breakdown products of plastic, the so-called microplastics, are proven to be ingested by a variety of organisms, with potential ecotoxicological effects still poorly assessed (Browne et al, 2013;Carreras-Colom et al, 2018;Cau et al, 2019a).…”

“…Microplastics were found in various biota, such as bivalve (Su et al 2018;Van Cauwenberghe and Janssen 2014;Qu et al 2018), crustacea (Carreras-Colom et al 2018), cetacean (Lusher et al 2015), seagrass (Goss et al 2018), seabird (Alvarez et al 2018), and plankton (Frias et al 2014). There are 3 impacts of ingested microplastics: (i) to be accumulated and block the digestive tract and disrupt digestion process, (ii) to become dissolution of chemical components after digestion, and (iii) to have accumulation B I O D I V E R S I T A S 20 (5): 1233-1242, May 2019 1234 of chemical components into the organs (Teuten et al 2007).…”

Abstract. Hastuti AR, Lumbanbatu DTF, Wardiatno Y. 2019. The presence of microplastics in the digestive tract of commercial fishes off Pantai Indah Kapuk coast, Jakarta, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1233-1242. Microplastics in fishes have been reported in many studies due to their threat to marine fishes and human health. But only a few data exist on commercial fish for human consumption in Indonesia. This study revealed the presence of microplastics in the digestive tract of 9 commercial species collected from six sites along the Pantai Indah Kapuk coast. Ingested microplastics were identified using gut content analysis. Microplastic particles were counted and categorized by type, color, and size. 169 of 174 (97.13%) of examined fish had microplastics. A total of 2063 microplastic particles were collected with the average number of particles per individual of 12.21 ± 9.76. The highest number (20.0 ± 8.0 particles individual-1) was found in Sardinella fimbriata and the lowest one (4.9 ± 4.7 particles individual-1) was found in Oreochromis mossambicus. Majority of ingested particles were fibers (89.63%), followed by fragments (6.24%), films (4.13%) and no pellets were observed. In terms of color, the most abundant were transparent particles (79.20%), followed by blue (7.03%), red (3.54%), black (2.86%), green (2.71%), and others which were found in low number. The highest number of fibers by size was <20-100 µm (55.03%), films were 100 - 1000 µm (33.93%), and fragments were <100 µm (25.25%). Microplastics ingested per individual in each species were not correlated to total body length, total body weight, digestive tract length, digestive content weight, mouth height, and mouth length.
