Translated version
Biomagnification (bioaccumulation)
The process by which the concentration of certain toxins (e.g., pesticides, heavy metals) increases at each successive trophic level. Since toxins accumulate in tissues and are not broken down, predators that consume many contaminated prey accumulate a very high dose of toxins.
Original version
Biomagnifikacija (bioakumuliacija)
Procesas, kurio metu tam tikrų toksinų (pvz., pesticidų, sunkiųjų metalų) koncentracija didėja kiekviename aukštesniame mitybos lygmenyje. Kadangi toksinai kaupiasi audiniuose ir nėra suskaidomi, plėšrūnai, suėdę daug užterštų aukų, sukaupia labai didelę toksinų dozę.
