This investigation delves into the realm of microplastic contamination within three tuna species (Euthynnus affinis, Thunnus tonggol, and Auxis rochei) inhabiting Malaysian waters, with a keen focus on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), gills, and edible muscle. These species were chosen due to their significant ecological roles and considerable commercial value, being extensively fished and widely consumed across global regions. Scrutinising 125 tuna specimens uncovers a spectrum of contamination levels across species, with T. tonggol registering the highest concentration (1.22 ± 0.14 microplastics per gram). Remarkably, male tunas exhibit a discernible proclivity towards heightened microplastic accumulation relative to their female counterparts. Noteworthy morphotypes of microplastics predominantly encompass fibres (92.43 %), notably manifesting in black hues (63.25 %). Notably, microplastics spanning the 0.01-1.00 mm size range assert their dominance, constituting a substantial 61.54 % of the total, with rayon emerging as the leading polymer (54.39 %). These findings highlight the pivotal role of the GIT and gills as primary sites of microplastic accumulation in tuna, raising concerns about potential human health implications through seafood consumption. It is crucial to deepen our understanding of microplastic distribution and characteristics in seafood to develop effective mitigation strategies and safeguard human well-being within marine environments. This study advocates for urgent global attention to address the ecological and human health impacts of microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":18215,"journal":{"name":"Marine pollution bulletin","volume":"212 ","pages":"117584"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143023878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

L. japonicus exhibited the highest sensitive in OCR, with an EC50 of 15,812 mg L-1 responding more rapidly to SS exposure. In contrast, S. schlegelii demonstrated the highest mortality, with an LC50 of 340,921 mg L-1. SS exposure caused diel variations in OCR across species, highlighting the necessity of accounting for such differences.

In this context, an underwater marine litter survey was conducted along the fringing coral reefs in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands- a remote archipelago in the Bay of Bengal, Northern Indian Ocean. The result revealed entanglement and smothering of coral colonies by plastic and derelict fishing gear. The survey recorded an average litter density of 0.42 ± 0.08 items/m2 (range: 0.23 ± 0.02 to 0.71 ± 0.09) and a mean mass of 138.61 ± 42.15 g/m2 (range: 70.17 ± 7.74 to 303.4 ± 2.55). Plastic was the most dominant litter (60.82 %) recorded in the reef environment. Derelict fishing gear made of plastic comprised 33.65 % of the total litter. Plastic Abundance Index (PAI), Hazardous Item Index (HII), and Clean Environment Index (CEI) were used to assess the ecological impact of marine litter. These indices highlighted the significant risks posed by marine litter to the coral reef environment. The finding helps to strengthen the assessment of marine litter in remote islands and underscores the urgent need for improved waste management, stricter regulations on the disposal of fishing gear, and effective removal of derelict fishing gear from the coral reef environments. Present study offers actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders to prioritize interventions for managing marine litter to safeguard vulnerable coral reef systems.","PeriodicalId":18215,"journal":{"name":"Marine pollution bulletin","volume":"212 ","pages":"117591"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143029150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Estuaries are essential for maintaining biodiversity and serve as protective natural buffers against pollution flowing from land to sea. However, PFAS, known for their persistence and bioaccumulation potential, are detected in estuarine waters, sediments, and biota worldwide, with varying concentrations based on geographic locations and environmental matrices. Sources of PFAS in estuaries include routine items like nonstick kitchenware, industrial emissions, landfill sites, civilian and military airfields, and runoff from firefighting activities.

In view of the escalating problem of MPs pollution in India, a comprehensive investigation of MPs accumulation in major riverine systems is necessary. The current study aims to estimate MPs abundance in surface water, sediment, and fish samples along the entire stretch of Godavari, the largest river in peninsular India. Average MPs concentrations in water lie in the range of 311–939 MPs/m<ce:sup loc=\"post\">3</ce:sup> and 2–144 MPs/kg d.w. for sediment. Urban regions and dam reservoirs showed elevated MPs abundance, emphasizing the impact of anthropogenic activities. The μ-Raman analysis revealed PE and PP were the abundantly occurring polymers in all matrices. Polymer and ecological risk index identify most sampling sites as extremely high-risk zones, posing a potential threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Plotted t-SNE (t-distributed Stochastic Neighbour Embedding) revealed similarities in MPs morphology and compositions among water, sediment and fish samples. Examined MPs in edible (flesh+skin) and inedible parts (GIT and gills) of seven different fish species showed a higher average MPs abundance in edible parts (10.7 ± 14.9 MPs/fish) than gills (7 ± 8.1 MPs/fish) and GIT (6.6 ± 5.5 MPs/fish). This suggests that removing gills and GIT from fish doesn't eliminate the consumer's risk of MPs intake. Overall, our work highlights the significant MPs pollution in the Godavari River, further providing essential data on the ecological risk of MPs to guide municipal action plans, improve waste management, target high-risk areas, and raise awareness to mitigate impacts.","PeriodicalId":18215,"journal":{"name":"Marine pollution bulletin","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
