The concentration of DDT in a species of phytoplankton is 12 mg DDT/kg phytoplankton. The concentration of DDT in a fish known to exclusively consume that species of phytoplankton is 150 µg DDT/kg fish. This results in a ratio of the DDT concentration in the fish to DDT concentration in the phytoplankton of 0.0125. Is this an example of biomagnification? Explain why or why not.
