AB  - Freshwater environments are more sensitive to anthropogenic influences and 
      usually contain higher concentrations of pollutants than marine environments. 
      Microplastic pollution causes additional stress on freshwater animals; yet, 
      studies evaluating the microplastic occurrence in freshwater biota are still 
      limited. In this study, microplastic occurrence in the gastrointestinal tracts 
      (GIT) and gill of commercial fish species (Prussian carp Carassius gibelio 
      (Bloch, 1782); Abu mullet Planiliza abu (Heckel, 1843); Common carp Cyprinus 
      carpio Linnaeus, 1758; European ell Anguilla Anguilla (Linnaeus, 1758); North 
      African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822); Goldfish Carassius auratus 
      (Linnaeus, 1758) were reported from Orontes River. MPs abundance in the GIT and 
      gill of six species were found as 5.1 +/- 2 MPs fish(-1) and 4.4 +/- 2 MPs fish(-1) 
      with an occurrence of 95% and 74%, respectively. The majority of extracted 
      microplastics were fiber, black and less than 1000 mum in size. FTIR analysis 
      determined the main polymer types as polyester (50%), high-density polyethylene 
      (HDPE) (10%), polypropylene (PP) (8%) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (5%). 
      High MPs abundance and frequency of occurence indicate the exposure of 
      microplastic pollution in freshwater biota which could threat the health of both 
      individuals and consumers. Results obtained in this study will increase the 
      acknowledgement of MPs pollution in the Orontes River. Also, this study will 
      provide data to the administrators to set up necessary legislations in freshwater 
      ecosystems.
