Mullet fish (Mugil cephalus), glassfish (Ambassis nalua), and mudskipper (Periophthalmus sp.) dominate the mangrove ecosystem waters of Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. These fish are potentially contaminated with microplastics from domestic and industrial waste. This study aimed to analyze microplastic contamination in the digestive tracts and flesh of fish from the mangrove area of Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. Sampling was conducted at 3 stations: Alue Naga in Syiah Kuala District, Pande in Kuta Raja District, and Blang in Meuraxa District, from December 2023 to February 2024. A total of 478 mullets, 462 glassfish, and 435 mudskippers were sampled. Based on fish species and sampling location, glassfish and the Alue Naga station exhibited the highest abundance of microplastics, with values of 1.55 particles/fish and 1.77 particles/fish, respectively. Black was the most dominant color of microplastics found in all fish samples, with the predominant size groups being <20 µm and 21–40 µm. Film was the predominant shape of microplastics in all fish species. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of nylon and polypropylene microplastic polymers in the fish flesh. Mullet fish, glassfish, and mudskippers from the mangrove forest waters of Banda Aceh City, Indonesia, have been contaminated by microplastics.

Microplastics are plastic fragments measuring < 5 mm, microplastics that enter the water can damage the growth of coral reefs. The aim of this research is to obtain accurate data on the distribution of microplastics, as an initial step in conservation and mitigation of the impact of plastic waste pollution in the Ujong Pancu area. Sediment samples were taken using coring method. Microplastic identification was carried out at the Marine Chemistry Laboratory, Faculty of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Syiah Kuala University using a binocular microscope with zig-zag pattern identification. The results of this study are that there are three types of microplastic found in Ujong Pancu waters, namely fiber, film, and fragment types. The average abundance of microplastics in Ujong Pancu Waters ranges from 32–68 particles/kg. The highest average abundance of microplastics is in the northwestern part of Pulau Tuan and the lowest is in Lhok Mata Ie Beach. The highest type of microplastic found was film and the lowest type of microplastic found was fiber. The condition of coral reefs in Ujong Pancu waters is in the moderate category. The relationship between microplastic abundance and the percentage of live coral cover and environmental parameters was 85.01%.
