Abstract | The Abandoned, Lost or otherwise Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG) are commonly found in the ocean these days due to the negligence of the fishermen. The present study aims to identify the discarded fishing gear sample and determine metals' absorption rate by ALDFGs. The identification of the ALDFG was done with the help of ATR-FTIR in which it was confirmed that the samples are mostly made of nylon 6. Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) peaks such as 3435.43 cm⁻¹, 2926.38 cm ⁻¹, 2857.74 cm⁻¹ correspond to nylon 6. Adsorption of trace metals by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) confirmed the presence of elements such as Aluminium, Barium, Cadmium, Calcium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Lead, Magnesium, Manganese, Nickel, Phosphorus, Potassium, Rubidium, Sodium, Strontium, Vanadium and Zinc in the identified plastic sample. The Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) micrographs were confirmed the adsorption of elements by the surface of the sample and revealed the level of adsorption of trace metals in the abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear. |
