In today's world, microplastic contamination of aquatic systems is a subject of major concern. In this study, the incidence of microplastics in freshwater fish from both farmed and wild sources was evaluated. Wild catla (Gibelion catla), stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis), rui (Labeo rohita), tengara catfish (Mystus tengara) and pabdah catfish (Ompok pabda) were collected from Padma river, Turag river and Bhairab river. Farmed fishes of same species were collected from Mymensingh and Chandpur fish markets. 68 (43.6%) microparticles out of 156 were identified as microplastics using ATR-FTIR. 66.67% (20 out of 30) of farmed fish sample had microplastics in their digestive system, while 88.4% (23 of 26) of wild fish sample presented microplastics. There was significant difference (p also showed significant difference among five fish species (p |
