A potential side effect of biomagnification of a toxin in an ecosystem is:
**population decrease of a secondary predator.**
Biomagnification leads to higher concentrations of toxins at higher trophic levels, which can negatively impact the health and reproductive success of secondary predators, potentially leading to a decrease in their population.
**population decrease of a secondary predator.**
Biomagnification leads to higher concentrations of toxins at higher trophic levels, which can negatively impact the health and reproductive success of secondary predators, potentially leading to a decrease in their population.
