摘要

众所周知，科威特的海洋环境长期受到各种污染物的污染，但有关塑料垃圾的报道有限。本研究量化了居住在科威特Ashish Al-Doha-Sulaibikhat湾的弹涂鱼的沿海沉积物和胃肠道中的宏观和微塑料。结果表明，沉积物中宏观塑料（395±189粒/m2）和微塑料（291.8±70.6粒/kg）以碎片和纤维为主，分别占51.3%和43.7%。由于弹涂鱼不同种类的摄食习性和接近人为污染，初步样本中只有15%被发现摄入塑料。污染是由于海滩上丢弃的碎片，未经处理的雨水/废水径流，疏浚和河流输入。在苏莱比哈特湾进行不受限制的人为活动可能会对本已脆弱的生态系统造成不可逆转的破坏，因此需要进行监测、管理和执法。

Occurrence of macro- and microplastics in sediment and mudskippers from Ashish Al-Doha, Kuwait

Kuwait's marine environment has long been known to be contaminated by various pollutants, yet reports of plastic litter are limited. This study quantified macro- and microplastics in the littoral sediment and gastrointestinal tracts of mudskippers inhabiting Ashish Al-Doha-Sulaibikhat Bay, Kuwait. Results showed that macro- (395 ± 189 particles/m²) and microplastics (291.8 ± 70.6 particles/kg) in sediment were dominated by fragments and fibers, reaching up to 51.3 % and 43.7 % respectively. Due to the different feeding habits of mudskipper species and proximity to anthropogenic pollution, ingested plastic was only found in 15 % of the preliminary specimens. Contamination was attributed to discarded debris on the beach, untreated stormwater/wastewater runoff, dredging, and riverine input. Monitoring, management, and enforcement of laws are needed to undertake the unrestricted anthropogenic activity in Sulaibikhat Bay, which could lead to irreversible damage to this already fragile ecosystem.
