Full Description

This exam focuses on the concept of bioaccumulation and its implications for aquatic food chains. Students will analyze the processes that lead to the concentration of toxic substances in organisms over time.

The significance of bioaccumulation is profound, as it can directly impact fish health and subsequently affect human health through the consumption of contaminated aquatic food.

Assessment will involve verbal articulation of bioaccumulation pathways, discussion of examples from real-world situations, and the implications for aquaculture management.

Candidates may also be prompted to suggest strategies to monitor and reduce bioaccumulation in farmed species.

Sample Questions

  • What processes lead to bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms
  • In what ways does bioaccumulation pose risks to human health
