The process whereby certain substances such as
pesticides
or heavy metals move up the food chain by working their way into rivers
or lakes
and being eaten by aquatic organisms such as fish, which in turn are
eaten by
large birds, animals or humans. The substances become concentrated in
tissues or
internal organs as they move up the chain. (1)
