Molluscs, especially gastropods are essential to the operations of ecosystems. They serve as the food chain's higher trophic organisms' transporters of contaminants. They are also thought to be sensitive markers of changes in the environment, particularly contaminants like heavy metals and microplastics. Due to the high prevalence of microplastics in both freshwater and marine organisms, microplastics are receiving more attention globally. Still, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding animals found in estuaries. In this baseline investigation, the distribution and abundance of microplastics in Babylonia spirata from Indus Delta, Sindh Pakistan are assessed. The mean abundance of microplastics in Babylonia spirata was 28.81±12.94 items/ind and 16.54±12.53 items/g of tissue. Fibers were the dominant type of microplastics (69%), among which black color (37%) was common. PE (25.8%) was the dominant polymer type of microplastic which was identified by FTIR. Evaluating the degree to which Babylonia spirata were contaminated by microplastics sheds light on the potential use of gastropods as bioindicators for baseline research and monitoring.
