Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries that has the largest archipelago area in the world. Indonesia's vast territorial waters also present major challenges in terms of environmental management. One problem that is getting worse is plastic waste. Over time, plastic waste scattered in the environment will degrade into small particles which are usually called microplastics. Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the economically and ecologically important freshwater fish species. This fish is not only an important source of protein for humans, but also plays a role in the balance of the marine ecosystem. Exposure to microplastics in fish can occur in various ways, including through contaminated feed. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of exposure to polystyrene (PS) microplastics in feed on the blood profile of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The treatments given were P1 without exposure to microplastics, P2 with 0.01 mg/0.75 g, P3 with 0.1 mg/0.75 g, and P4 with 1 mg/0.75 g. The parameters measured in the study were blood profiles, including hematocrit, hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes, leukocyte differential and survival rate. The results obtained in this study were that hematocrit levels and survival rates had an effect on fish growth, while erythrocyte, leukocyte and leukocyte differential values had no significant effect on the blood profile of Nile fish exposed to polystyrene microplastics.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that is rich in natural resources and has various potentials that can be developed, especially in the field of aquaculture. Aquaculture activity that is often carried out by Indonesian people is the cultivation of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Apart from that, Indonesia is known as the second largest contributor of plastic waste in the world after China. The scattered plastic waste will be degraded into microplastics which can then spread to tilapia farming locations. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of exposure to polystyrene microplastics given to tilapia feed on their growth. The research method used was a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replications with doses P1 = 0 mg/0.75 g feed (control), P2 = 0.01 mg/0.75 g feed, P3 = 0.1 mg/ 0.75 g feed, and P4 = 1 mg/0.75 g feed. The parameters tested were absolute weight growth, absolute length growth, spesific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and water quality. The results obtained were that the effect of exposure to polystyrene microplastics in feed was significantly different on absolute weight growth, SGR, and FCR in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), but not significantly different on absolute length growth.
