Abstract Microplastic (MP) contamination in fish may occur via their feeding behavior and ingestion of contaminated prey. This study investigated the presence MPs predator Lutjanus russellii (Russell’s snapper) its prey along Chumphon coast Central Gulf Thailand. Stomach contents L . were analyzed to identify species. Prey species then sampled from same geographical area as specimens for subsequent MP analysis. The dietary habits classify it a generalist carnivore, consuming diverse range food items, including zooplankton, crustaceans, small fish. No significant correlation was observed between abundance weight or length (general linear model, p > 0.05). Black red fibers predominant types both prey, though sizes varied among In stomachs, most common polymers acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS; 26.32%), polyethylene terephthalate (PET; 21.05%), polyester (PES; 10.53%). Conversely, samples dominated by PES (17.58%), PET (15.38%), ABS (13.19%). Notably, similarities characteristics (shape, color, average size, certain polymer types) Portunus sp. detection smaller compared (Mann–Whitney U -test, ≤ 0.05) suggests transfer through hard-shelled crustacean underscores importance examining predator–prey interactions better understand pathways marine ecosystems, particularly regions like Thailand, where plastic pollution is prevalent. Further research required assess long-term ecological implications within chains.
