Microplastic Abundance in Telebralia at Mangrove Forest Pulau Panjang, Serang-Banten

This research investigated the abundance and type of microplastic pollution in Telebralia collected at mangrove forest Pulau Panjang. In total 60 consist 30 palustris sulcata were collected. The soft tissue was extracted with HNO3 65% for 24 hour mixed NaCl solution. Samples observed under binocular microscope further analysis done. Microplastic pollutions detected all species Telebralia. Most fiber. Overall, average Panjang 2117 particles/individual. number suspected microplastics found Terebralia ranged from 1240 to 3420 has more than sulcata. confirms that have infiltrated marine ecosystem especially forest. Thus, its effect needs research.
