Abstract

Plastic is one of the main pollutants in the ocean due to its persistent nature. Plastic in waters can be broken down into pieces <5 mm in size, called microplastics, and enter the bodies of aquatic biota such as shellfish. The objectives of this research was to analyze the abundance and identify the characteristics of microplastics in blood clam and green mussel from Pasar Beringharjo, Yogyakarta City. The method in this research is to sample shellfish from Pasar Beringharjo. The shellfish samples obtained had their meat removed and soaked in 10% KOH for 3 days. The isolation results were filtered and the microplastics obtained were observed under a light microscope to determine their abundance and characteristics. The polymers that make up microplastics are analyzed by FTIR. The abundance and characteristics of microplastics between shellfish kinds were compared using the Mann Whitney test. The results showed that the abundance of microplastics in blood clam (average 839.25 ± 144.24 microplastics/individual) was higher compared to green mussel (average 703.75 ± 159.21 microplastics/individual), but not significantly different (p>0.05). The form of microplastic that dominates in both kinds of shellfish is fragments. The most common color of microplastics found in both kinds of shellfish was black and brown. The size of microplastics in both kinds of shellfish is dominated by the range 0-100 µm. FTIR results indicate the type of nylon polymer (polyamide). Microplastics in blood clam and green mussel from Pasar Beringharjo, Yogyakarta City have almost the same abundance and characteristics.

Abstract

Microplastics in the bodies of aquatic biota can have a negative impact either on aquatic biota or humans who consume them. One of the largest markets in Yogyakarta that sells aquatic commodities is Beringharjo Market. This research was done to analyze the abundance and characteristics of microplastics contained in the digestive tract and meat of vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) sold at Beringharjo Market. Microplastics were isolated from digestive tract and meat using 10% KOH at room temperature for three days. The microplastics are then filtered and observed under a microscope. The average abundance of microplastics in the digestive tract and meat was analyzed using Mann-Whitney test. The results showed that the abundance of microplastics in the digestive tract (933.00 ± 380.17 microplastics/gram) was higher than in meat (759.25 ± 254.21 microplastics/gram), but was not significantly different (p&gt;0, 05). The average of fragments and fibers microplastics between the digestive tract and meat was significantly different (p&lt;0.05), while the average of films and pellets microplastics was not significantly different (p&gt;0.05). The color of microplastics was not significantly different (p&gt;0.05). The most dominant size of microplastics is in the range of 0-100 μm, each at 40%. FT-IR results showed that the vannamei shrimp samples contained nylon type microplastics. Microplastics in the digestive tract and meat of vannamei shrimp sold at Beringharjo Market have the same abundance and characteristics.
