The production of the plastic throughout the globe is increasing with the accelerating rate due to itsdurability and multipurpose utility But due to lack of management practices these plastics are either dumped into the soil profile or thrown into the water bodies These plastics due to various physio-chemical changes results the MPs of size less than 5 μm which is ultimate hazardous for the soil biota as well as aquatic life These MPs have potential for the serious health issue which leads up to the mortality as they are the source of the toxins which provides the large surface area to various chemical present in the water bodies Therefore, comprehensive studies are conducted on the source of the MPs in the fresh water its types and the way they accumulate into the bodies of the fishes It had been reported that accumulation of these MPs in the fishes causes certain mutagenic changes such as behavioral change, cytotoxicity neurotoxicity, liver stress etc. From the recent reviewed literature, we concluded that fishes ingest these MPs by assuming their food or accumulate these from consuming from lower tropic organism. Some common studied MPs in the fish's bodies are PE, PVC, PS etc. Our study assures that there is urgent requirement of monitoring the level of contamination of MPs in waterbodies and its environmental concern on aquatic life and thereby its time frame based investigation on the accumulation of micro plastics by fisheries on fresh water rather than unfresh or muddy water and debate whether this accumulation suggests need of some regulatory legal rules to the biodynamics to the eco-system.
