Wouldn't this make the fish great filters? Would the fish be more economical to use that the magnetic liquid?

You'd have to remove the fish from the foodchain/ecosystem once they absorbed the chemicals in that case (and not eat them), which is probably not feasible or ideal.

Well, then what do we do with the fish? Just not sell it to customers? That'd put a big strain on the fishing industry, which may push them to cut corners and do more ecological damage to the environment to make ends meet

Breed them for more filter fish then dispose of them? Idk, just a thought that I haven't put any time into

It's good to talk things out to help develop ideas. What if the fish become invasive, for example? It invariably happens, see all the times we accidentally introduced X species (usually rat) to non-native lands, then intentionally introduced Y species (bird or cat most often) to deal with X, and instead X and Y are both flourishing, devastating the local ecosystem.
Biological solutions are almost always dangerous and difficult to control like that, unfortunately.
Magnets don't reproduce, so generally there won't be magnet-outbreaks, you know?

Catch the fish, process the concentrated chemicals out of them, then sell the fish.
