Abstract :
Microplastics are plastics resulting from degradation by nature so they have a micro size about 1-5000 ?m. Microplastic has become a global issue because it spreads throughout the world's waters. Microplastics that spread in waters have a high potential to contaminate aquatic biota and reduce the quality of marine products and also endanger food safety. This study aims to determine the presence of microplastic content in the Gulamah fish (Johnius corouna) caught from the mouth of the Musi River, Sungsang, Banyuasin. The method used is observational and the data is processed in a quantitative descriptive form with statistical calculations and presented in pictures, tables and graphs. Samples were taken from the estuary of the Musi River, Sungsang Region, Banyuasin using fishing techniques and a simple random method. Samples were taken from three sample points based on the distance from the beach as far as 100 m, 200 m and 300 m so that three samples of Gulamah fish (Johnius corouna) were obtained. The characteristics of the microplastics tested included the color, shape, amount, abundance, and size of the microplastics contained in the gills and viscera of the Gulamah fish (Johnius corouna) from the Musi estuary, Sungsang, Banyuasin. The results of this study indicate that there is a microplastic content in the Gulamah fish found in the estuary of the Musi River, Sungsang Region, Banyuasin with the number of microplastic particles found as many as 136 particles and average abundance of sampels is 2.59 particles/gram. The characteristics of the microplastics found in the Gulamah fish from the estuary of the Musi River, Sungsang Region, Banyuasin, include the colors of the microplastics found were black, red, blue and transparent. While the forms of microplastic particles found were pellets, fragments, fibers, and films.
