The toxins in the lakes\/oceans are consumed by small fish and stored in their flesh and fat. Bigger fish who rely on fish lower in the food chain accumulate these toxins, which are then eaten by humans. Over time, excess amounts of toxins increase risk of cancers and can decrease mental function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities are affected by this. For example, only one walleye (pickerel) per year is recommended to eat near Hiawatha\/Rice Lake because of biomagnification of toxins. Some safer local fish to eat are perch because they are vegetarian, therefore, there is less biomagnification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instructions for Biomagnification Tag can be found in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/elbowlakecentre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Biomag-Tag-Game-Instructions_2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Biomag Tag Game Instructions.pdf<\/a><\/strong> adapted from the following lesson plan: <a href=\"http:\/\/ecolearninghive.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Lesson%20Plan%20-%20Bio%20Mag%20Tag.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><font color=\"#0170b9\">http:\/\/ecolearninghive.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Lesson%20Plan%20-%20Bio%20Mag%20<\/font>Tag.pdf.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/elbowlakecentre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/16.-Biomagnification-Tag-Game_2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Printer Friendly Activity<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/elbowlakecentre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Biomag-Tag-Game-Instructions_2023.pdf\">Biomag Tag Game Instructions<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"quills-learning-environment":[86,78],"quills-season":[88,76,74,75,77],"curriculum-focus":[83],"quills-subject-area":[21,18,38,39,20,44,22,23],"quills-theme":[24],"bundle":[25],"content-type":[49],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
