what is biomagnification?
Asked by | 17 Aug, 2008, 12:37: PM
Expert Answer

biomagnification is the increase in concentration of the persistant toxicant at successive trophic levels. It happens because a toxic substance accumulated by an organism cannot be metabolised or excreted and is thus passed onto the next higher trophic level.
