Abstract:
Abstract Due to anthropogenic activities the marine environment is disturbed and so the organisms living in that habitat. One of the most critical and persistent pollution nowadays is plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystem. Plastic being flexible, durable and inexpensive to produce, utilization of it has become unavoidable which led us in “plastic cage”. Present study was conducted to investigate presence of microplastic fibre in the gut of the Sardinella longiceps collected from Sassoon dock, Mumbai. Stereomicroscopy was done for screening and visual inspection of different microplastic fibre from completely digested gut tissue. Identification of found microplastic fibres were done using ATR-FTIR method. Present study provides evidence of presence of microplastic fibres in the gut of the said fish polymers found were polyamide(PA), polyethylene(PE), polypropylene(PP), Polystyrene(PS), & Polycaprolactum (PA-6). Polyamide was found more in number than other type of polymer in gut tissue of studied fish.
