Kontaminasi mikroplastik telah dilaporkan di banyak perairan dunia termasuk Indonesia. Bahkan sejumlah biota laut komersial dari perairan Indonesia telah dilaporkan terkontaminasi mikroplastik meliputi ikan, rajungan, tiram, udang dan kerang. Kontaminasi mikroplastik pada biota perairan terjadi melalui rantai makanan dan berdampak pada gangguan reproduksi, penyumbatan saluran pencernaan, dan menghambat pertumbuhan biota. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis kelimpahan mikroplastik pada udang kelong di PPi Ujong Baroh serta menganalisis ukuran, bentuk, warna dan jenis polimer menggunakan alat FT-IR. Sampel udang diambil secara accidental sampling. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode survei eksplorasi. Pengambilan sampel udang kelong menggunakan jaring tiga lapis (trammel net) dengan jauh trip penangkapan sejauh 3-4 mil dengan kedalaman berkisar antara 20-50 meter. Ukuran mikroplastik

Microplastic contamination has been reported in many waters of the world including Indonesia. Even a number of commercial marine biota from Indonesian waters have been reported to be contaminated with microplastics including fish, crabs, oysters, shrimp and shellfish. Microplastic contamination of aquatic biota occurs through the food chain and has an impact on reproductive disorders, blockage of the digestive tract, and inhibiting biota growth. The purpose of this study was to analyze the abundance of microplastics in kelong shrimp in West Aceh Waters and analyze the size, shape, color and type of polymer using FT-IR equipment. Shrimp samples were taken by accidental sampling. The method used in this research is the exploratory survey method. Sampling kelong shrimp using a three-layer net (trammel net) with a far fishing trip as far as 3-4 miles with depths ranging from 20-50 meters. Microplastic size
