Plastics have become ubiquitous in our lives. Due to the ever-increasing population, rapid urbanization, and industrial advancement, use of plastics has increased manifold.

Abstract We studied the prevalence, abundance and physical chemical characteristics of microplastics (MPs) in fishes Luruaco lagoon, Colombia. Four samplings were carried out where fish captured with trawl nets. Each individual was assessed for total weight, standard length, then a uroventral cut made to extract stomach intestine (GIT). structure weighed, measured deposited glass jars filtered KOH solution. The MPs frequency occurrence assessed. A principal component analysis (PCA) used describe variation species dataset (%FO, proportion their diet). Seven recorded 271 individuals examined: Microplastics identified all species, 1157 particles found GIT, prevalence 87.5% MPs. Mugil liza Andinoacara latifrons had highest %FO cichlid species. typologies 13 colors analyzed; fibers color blue predominant. direct relationship observed between type diet
