Sampah plastik di perairan dapat terdegradasi oleh paparan sinar ultraviolet dan menjadi partikel kecil yang disebut mikroplastik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik mikroplastik dan karakteristik mikroplastik yang mendominansi di dalam tubuh Siput Mata Bulan. Parameter yang diamati adalah bentuk dan warna mikroplastik dalam tubuh Siput Mata Bulan. Data jenis mikroplastik dianalisis secara deskriptif dan data dominansi mikroplastik dianalisis dengan rumus dominansi subjek. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam tubuh siput mata bulan ditemukan jenis mikroplastik dengan bentuk fragmen dengan jumlah 755 partikel/gram, filamen sebanyak 450 partikel/gram, foam sebanyak 188 partikel/gram, pellet sebanyak 108 partikel/gram, film sebanyak 66 partikel/gram. Warna hitam sebanyak 678 partikel/gram, warna merah sebanyak 599 partikel/gram, warna kuning sebanyak 109 partikel/gram, warna transparan sebanyak 92 partikel/gram, warna biru sebanyak 73 partikel/gram, warna hijau dan ungu masing-masing sebanyak 7 partikel/gram dan warna putih sebanyak 2 partikel/gram. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini didapatkan bentuk mikroplastik fragmen, filamen, foam, pellet, film, dan warna mikroplastik hitam, merah, kuning, transparan, biru, hijau, ungu, dan putih. Karakteristik mikroplastik yang mendominansi adalah bentuk fragmen dan warna hitam.

Plastic waste inside waters can be degraded by exposure to light ultraviolet and become small particles called microplastics. This research aims to identify characteristics of microplastics and characteristics microplastics that dominate in the Body of Yellow Mouth Turban Snails. The parameters observed were the shape and color of microplastics in the Body of Yellow Mouth Turban Snails. Microplastic type data was analyzed descriptively and microplastic dominance data was analyzed using the subject dominance formula. The results of the research showed that in the Body of Yellow Mouth Turban Snails, microplastics were found in the form of fragments with a total of 755 particles/gram, filaments with a total of 450 particles/gram,foam as many as 188 particles/gram, pellets as many as 108 particles/gram, film as many as 66 particles/gram. Black has 678 particles/gram, red has 599 particles/gram, yellow has 109 particles/gram, transparent has 92 particles/gram, blue has 73 particles/gram, green and purple has 7 particles each. /gram and white as much as 2 particles/gram. Conclusions from this research obtained microplastics form fragments, filaments, foam, pellets, films, and microplastic colors black, red, yellow, transparent, blue, green,young, and white. The dominant characteristics of microplastics are their fragment shape and black color. Keywords: characteristics, shape, colors, microplastics, snails
