Taking all factors into account, rank the following for likelihood of bioaccumulation: bald eagles, osprey, seals, and northern harriers. This image depicts a marine ecosystem food web with various interconnected organisms and energy flow illustrated using arrows. Here's a detailed explanation:1. **Producers**: - **Aquatic Plants**: Represented as green plants underwater, they use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis. - **Plant Seeds and Roots**: Located on land, providing nutrients to some animals.2. **Primary Consumers**: - **Small Fish**: Feed on aquatic plants and aquatic insects. - **Crayfish**: Consume organic debris and play a role in the decomposition process. - **Rodents**: Eat plant seeds and roots above ground.3. **Secondary Consumers**: - **Large Fish**: Prey on small fish and crayfish. - **Aquatic Insects**: Feed on organic debris and help in breaking down plant material.4. **Tertiary Consumers**: - **Osprey and Seabird**: Predators that feed on large fish. - **Seal**: Eats both large and small fish.5. **Apex Predators**: - **Bald Eagle**: Consumes large fish and can prey on smaller birds. - **Northern Harrier**: Hunts rodents and small birds.6. **Decomposers**: - **Organic Debris**: Represents dead plant and animal matter that is decomposed to recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.7. **Environmental Factor**: - **Sun**: Source of energy driving photosynthesis in aquatic plants and terrestrial plants.Arrows indicate the direction of energy flow from one organism to another within the food web, illustrating the complex interdependence of species in this ecosystem.

Bioaccumulation is the accumulation of pesticides or any such toxic material such as DDT in the organisms which lie at the top of the food chain. In the food chain, the most susceptible organism for bioaccumulation is the one who is tertiary consumers as the toxic material intensifies in it. 1- seals2 - bald eagles 3 – osprey4 – northern harriers DDT tends to run off the land into water ecosystems. Thus water ecosystems are more contaminated than land ecosystems. Fish becomes easily contaminated by taking in such toxic water. They store DDT in their bodies. Ospreys eat such fishes and thus bioaccumulation occurs more here than fishes. Now coming to northern harriers which consume land animals such as rodents. Land animals attend to show littles less accumulation of DDT than aquatic animals hence northern harriers whose food chain is mainly terrestrial seems to be less bioaccumulated. The higher the animal is on the food chain, the greater degree of bioaccumulation would occur in it. Thus biomagnification would be highest in seals as it partly lives inland and partly in the water and is a tertiary consumer too.
