Butyltin residues in deep-sea organisms collected from Suruga Bay, Japan

Article Abstract:

Butylin compounds are present in deep-sea ecosystems, according to results that studied organisms collected from Suraga Bay in Japan. The levels of butyltin contamination were lower in organisms taken from the deep part of the bay compared to organisms from shallower parts of the bay. It appears that butylin contamination may be the reason why deep-sea organisms contained the compounds.

Butyltin residues in southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) found dead along California coastal waters

Article Abstract:

Tributyltin, along with its degradation products, monobutyltin and dibutyltin, were found in the liver, kidney and brain tissues of dead sea otters found along the coast of California during 1992 to 1996. It was seen that the hepatitic concentrations of butyltin compounds varied from 40 to 9200ng/g wet wt, depending on the sampling location and gender. The accumulation of butyltins in sea otters was traced to their bottom-feeding habit and diet consisting exclusively of mollusks and gastropods. TBT was the most predominant among butyltin compounds in sea otter tissues.
