Modelling the Bioaccumulation of Ciguatoxins in Parrotfish on the Great Barrier Reef Reveals Why Biomagnification Is Not a Property of Ciguatoxin Food Chains

We adapt previously developed conceptual and numerical models of ciguateric food chains on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, to model the bioaccumulation of ciguatoxins (CTXs) in parrotfish, the simplest food chain with only two trophic levels. Our model indicates that relatively low (1 cell/cm<...
