The Presence of Microplastics in the Rayed Pearl Oyster (Pinctada imbricata radiata)

Abstract

Mikroplastikler 1µm ile 5mm boyutlarındaki polimer parçaları olarak adlandırılır. Son yıllarda deniz ortamında yaygınlaşan etkili kirleticiler haline gelmiştir. Mikroplastik kirliliği deniz ekosistemindeki hemen her canlı türü içerisinde tespit edilmeye başlamıştır. Özellikle besinlerini filtrasyon yolu ile alan çift kabuklu canlılar bünyelerine mikroplastik almak zorunda kalmışlardır. Bu çalışma ile Çeşme Ildır Kıyılarından toplanan Işınlı inci istiridyesi Pinctada imbricata radiata’nın mide örnekleri içerisinde mikroplastik varlığının tespiti yapılmıştır. Organik materyallerin sindirimi için %10 KOH (Potasyum Hidroksit) solüsyonu kullanılmıştır. Mide örnekleri içerisinde tespit edilen 65 mikroplastik benzeri parçacık μ-FTIR ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda seçilen örneklerin mikroplastik olduğu tespit edilmiş ve tespit edilen türler içerisinde en yaygın görülen mikroplastik şekli fiber, polimer tipi Polietilen (PE) ve en yaygın görülen mikroplastik rengi ise mavi olmuştur.

Microplastics are referred to as pieces of polymer from 1 µm to 5 mm in size. In recent years, they have become effective pollutants that have become widespread in the marine environment. Microplastic pollution has begun to be detected in almost every living species in the marine ecosystem. Bivalves, especially those that take their nutrients through filtration, had to take microplastics into their bodies. In this study, microplastic presence was determined in stomach samples of the ray pearl oyster Pinctada imbricata radiata collected from Çeşme Ildır Beach. A 10% KOH (Potassium Hydroxide) solution was used for the degradation of organic materials. 65 microplastic-like particles detected in stomach samples were analyzed by μ-FTIR. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the selected samples were microplastic. Among the detected species, the most common microplastic shape is fiber, the polymer type is Polyethylene (PE), and the most common microplastic color is blue.
