Biomagnification is the process of accumulation of toxic compounds in body. These chemicals can be accumulated from the water and food consumed.  

For example:

- Accumulation of mercury in fish bodies more than they excrete and every fish has more concentration that the one it ate.

- Moreover, accumulation of wastes in water leached toxins in water which results in pollution as well toxicity for both the lives inside and outside the water.
