A Study on the Actual Condition of Microplastic Contamination in Mackerel
AI summary Read the abstract
This South Korean study investigated the level of microplastic contamination in mackerel, analyzing both natural and farmed fish using hydrogen peroxide digestion to remove organic tissue. The work develops a standardized detection method for microplastics in commercially important fish and establishes baseline contamination data for an important seafood species.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the contamination level of micro plastics in Korean mackerel and to investigate the detection method of micro plastics in fish. This study analyzed the detection and composition of micro plastics using natural mackerel and wild mackerel. 30% hydrogen perox...

A sequential H₂O₂–KOH digestion protocol for microplastic extraction from cured fish matrices: development, optimization and validation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed and tested a two-step chemical treatment, using hydrogen peroxide and potassium hydroxide, to extract microplastics from cured fish products like salted or smoked fish. Lab testing found the optimized method broke down over 96% of the fish tissue while keeping six common plastic types intact for accurate detection and measurement.
Sample decomposition to determine microplastics in parts of mullets
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed an optimized potassium hydroxide digestion method for extracting microplastics from different tissues of mullet fish, including meat, skin, and the digestive system. Different tissues required different digestion conditions to achieve effective extraction without destroying the plastic particles. The method improves the accuracy of microplastic detection in fish commonly consumed by people.
