Kandungan Mikroplastik Pada Kerang Darah (Anadara Granosa) Dengan Ukuran Berbeda Di Perairan Pantai Tanah Merah Kepulauan Meranti, Riau
This research was conducted in December 2023 with the aim of determining the type and content of microplastics in blood cockles (A. granosa) by taking the samples from the coastal waters of Tanah Merah Beach, Meranti Islands. Sampling location was based on purposive sampling method which was divided into residential areas, fishing ports, and mangrove areas. Blood cockle samples from the three locations were selected for only large sizes (2.5-3.7cm). The water quality parameters at the sampling location were measured for temperature, salinity and pH, indicating that the coastal waters of Tanah Merah Beach are still natural as a habitat for blood cockles.Three types of microplastics were found in blood cockles, namely fiber, film and fragments with an average abundance of 56.33 particles/ind (p>0.05). Further research is needed regarding size differences and relationships with environmental parameters.
