Final answer:

Shark meat can contain toxic substances due to biomagnification in the marine food web.


Explanation:

Shark meat may contain toxic substances used in pesticides due to biomagnification in the marine food web. Pesticides and heavy metals accumulate in smaller fish, which are then eaten by larger fish like sharks, causing toxic substances to concentrate in shark tissues. This leads to shark meat potentially containing harmful levels of these chemicals.
