Difference between Biomagnification and Wild fisheries

Biomagnification vs. Wild fisheries

Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification or biological magnification, is the increasing concentration of a substance, such as a toxic chemical, in the tissues of tolerant organisms at successively higher levels in a food chain. A fishery is an area with an associated fish or aquatic population which is harvested for its commercial value.

Similarities between Biomagnification and Wild fisheries

Biomagnification and Wild fisheries have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Arsenic, Bioaccumulation, DDT, Food chain, Heavy metals, Mercury (element), Polychlorinated biphenyl, Seawater, Shark, Trophic level, United States Environmental Protection Agency, Zooplankton.

Arsenic

Arsenic is a chemical element with symbol As and atomic number 33.

DDT

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, commonly known as DDT, is a colorless, tasteless, and almost odorless crystalline chemical compound, an organochlorine, originally developed as an insecticide, and ultimately becoming infamous for its environmental impacts.

Food chain

A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms (such as grass or trees which use radiation from the Sun to make their food) and ending at apex predator species (like grizzly bears or killer whales), detritivores (like earthworms or woodlice), or decomposer species (such as fungi or bacteria).

Shark

Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head.
