Collected samples of various fish and shrimp species from Chandipur, Odisha
Utilized wet peroxide oxidation and FTIR spectroscopy for analysis
Measured microplastic concentrations in muscle tissues and gastrointestinal tracts
Microplastic concentration averaged 4628 particles/g in muscle tissues and 4296 particles/g in GIT.
Coilia dussumieri showed the highest microplastic abundance, while Arius arius had the lowest.
An increased microplastic retention of 11,309 particles/g was noted during monsoon season.
