AB  - Microplastics (MPs) were analyzed in seven shrimp species Tiger shrimp (Penaeus 
      monodon), Red tiger shrimp (Caridina cantonensis), Indian shrimp (Penaeus 
      indicus), Red shrimp (Metapenaeus dobsoni), White shrimp (Penaeus merguiensis), 
      Brown shrimp (Metapenaeus monoceros), and Roshna shrimp (Palaemon styliferus) 
      collected from the Bay of Bengal. The abundance and characteristics of MPs were 
      assessed in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), which certainly translocated to the 
      muscle of shrimp species. The highest MP abundance was found in C. cantonensis 
      with 7.2 items/individual (25.3 items/g in the GIT and 6.3 items/g in muscle). 
      The prominent types of MPs in shrimp samples were fibers (30 %) and fragments 
      (29 %). The ingestion rate of MPs of black and transparent color was 
      comparatively higher, with 64 % of the ingested MPs were < 100 mum. The primary 
      polymer types detected based on Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis were 
      Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polymethyl 
      Methacrylate (PMMA), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polypropylene (PP), and Ethylene 
      Vinyl Acetate (EVA). Results from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed rough 
      surface textures and adhered particles on the MPs isolated from shrimps. The 
      margin of exposure for females was 71.42, and for males, it was 80.64, indicating 
      that women in Bangladesh are more likely to be exposed to MPs and face a higher 
      risk than men. Sensitivity analysis revealed that MPs particle size was the most 
      sensitive parameter. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of MP 
      ingestion, human exposure, and contamination in shrimps of Bangladesh, which can 
      help future monitoring efforts.
