Q. The maximum biomagnification would be in which of the following in case of aquatic ecosystem?

AIPMTAIPMT 1999Environmental Issues

Solution:

Biomagnification - Environmental Issues Biomagnification refers to an increase in the concentration of toxic chemicals at successive trophic levels. This happens because a toxic substance accumulated by an organism cannot be metabolized or excreted, and it is passed on to the next higher trophic level. In an aquatic ecosystem, birds are at the highest trophic level.
