Identifikasi Mikroplastik Pada Kolom Air Dan Lambung Ikan Motan (Thynnichthys Thynnoides) Di Danau Teluk Petai, Desa Buluh Nipis Kecamatan Siak Hulu Kabupaten Kampar Provinsi Riau
Microplastics that enter the water body might accidentally swallowed by aquatic organisms including fish. Thynnichthys thynnoides is a microphagous fish that lived in the Teluk Petai lake and feed mainly on phytoplankton, periphyton, algae and small zooplankton and thus the microplastics may be accidentally swallowed as the fish engulfed their food. To understand the microplastics present in the stomach of that fish, a study has been conducted on November 2022 – January 2023. The fish was caught in the Teluk Petai Lake and the plastic content in the stomach was analyzed. Water as well as fish samplings were conducted three times, once/ month. Fifteen liters of water was taken and sieved using a plankton net (20-30μm mesh size) and the microplastics were identified using a binoculer microscope. While the stomach contents of the fish were mixed with 10% KOH (at least 3x of the stomach contents volume) to dilute the organic matter and the microplastics were then identified. Results shown that the microplastics present in the water as well as in the stomach of the fish were fibers, fragments and films. The number of microplastic present in the water were 767 particles/m of fibers; 1,066 particles/m of films and 400 particles/m of fragments. In the fish stomach, there were 0.93 fiber particles/ fish; 1.09 film particles/ fish and 0.2 fragment particles/ fish. Based on data obtained, it can be concluded that the microplastics present in the water can be accidentally swallowed by fish, especially a microphagous fish such as T. thynnoides.
Keywords: plastic waste, plastic pollutants, fibre, film and fragment.
