摘要

This study aims to evaluate the bioaccumulation of microplastics in dog conch (Laevistrombus canarium) using polystyrene microplastics labeled with Iodine-131 as a radiotracer with variations in water salinity (30, 32, and 34 g L−1) and microplastic concentrations (0.9625, 1.925, and 3.85 m g L−1). The results showed that optimal bioaccumulation occurred at a salinity of 32 g L−1 and the lowest microplastic concentration, indicating physiological limitations in the accumulation process. The radiotracer method proved effective in sensitively and real-time detecting microplastic accumulation. These findings highlight the importance of environmental parameters on microplastic bioaccumulation and their implications for the health of marine organisms.
