Biomagnification How can something so small can cause so much damage?

Mercury in small creates have less than the large and big ones. One small creates that contains little amount of mercury can cause a difference and give the larges creates higher amount of mercer. The Pink clicks represent the biggest creatures, that then eat the smallest ones. From purple to gold ones, it represent zooplankton to mercury. The food chain. Phytoplankton with a lower rate of mercury is eaten by a larger organism and the amount of mercury increase. The top predators ended up with the most amount of mercury because of biomagnification. Basically: one phytoplankton has 3 mercury, the phytoplankton are eaten by the blue ones ( zooplankton.), and it goes to bigger organisms, to larger. (We had to reduce our number, we didn't have enough.)
