This study developed and validated new methods for extracting microplastics from fish gastrointestinal tracts using chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) as a model species. The optimized protocol using enzymatic digestion achieved higher recovery rates and less particle degradation compared to conventional chemical digestion methods.
