“…water and food) of OTCs in marine gastropods, it seems the major source of TBT in Rock Shells is from their prey. This assertion is supported by several reports that butyltins are being transferred through the food chain (Sun et al, 2001;Kono et al, 2008;Veltman et al, 2006).…”

Organotin compounds (OTCs) such as tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT), which are contaminating many coastal areas, are known to induce imposex in female gastropods. Hence, imposex induction in the Rock Shell Thais clavigera from 2003 to 2010 and OTC concentrations in the water, sediments, T. clavigera and in their prey were investigated from 2004 to 2006 at Iso (reference site) and Akobaru (polluted site) in Kagoshima Bay, Japan. Almost all female Rock Shells at Akobaru had imposex induction, but none at Iso. Higher concentrations of TBT and TPT in sediments (123 ng g -1 dry weight for TBT and 6.4 ng g −1 for TPT), Rock Shell (97 ∼ 182 ng g −1 for TBT and less than detection limit for TPT) and their prey (2.7 ∼ 289 ng g −1 for TBT and 1.8 ∼ 4.1 ng g −1 for TPT) were detected at Akobaru as compared to Iso. However, TBT and TPT in the water at Akobaru were less than 3.6 ng l −1 and less than 0.2 ng l −1 , respectively. These results suggested that prey organisms were the main sources of organotin compounds in Rock Shells, while the source of these compounds in prey organisms was possibly the sediments or suspended particles.

“…The strong correlations between DBT and TBT species and the organic matter may be explained by the hydrophobic character of the chain of these species which favours adsorption on the organic matter present on the surface of the sediment particles; mechanism that would also occur in OTC bioaccumulation processes (Veltman et al 2006). Moreover, Poerschmann et al (1997), based on the sorption coefficient values found for different OTCs on particulate Fig.…”

Tributyltin and its degradation products, mono-and dibutyltin have been determined in sediments collected in some representative sites in San Vicente Bay, Chile. The organic matter contents of sediments and water collected simultaneously from the same sampling sites were also determined. High levels of total organic carbon were found in sediments, especially in those from the northern part of the bay (1.80-8.87%). Good correlations were found between total organic carbon and the oxidizable and refractory carbon fractions. Among the butyltin species determined, TBT presented the highest levels, ranging from 14 to 1,560 ng Sn g(-1) dry weight. Concentration ratios of TBT to DBT ranged between 1.33 and 3.10, showing a high degree of contamination in sediments of this Chilean bay. All data obtained were analysed by the chemometric method of principal components analysis. A strong correlation was found between TBT and DBT concentrations in sediments, the different organic matter contents in sediments and water. In marine organisms only TBT was detected, containing the filterer organism Semele solida higher level than Perumytilus purpuratus and Pyura chilensis (220, 150 and 120 ng Sn g(-1) dry weight, respectively). For the alga Rodoficea iridae the TBT concentration was 60 ng Sn g(-1) dw. Comparatively, these values are higher than those reported for the same kind of marine organisms worldwide. The different samples from San Vicente Bay were found to be contaminated by TBT. This contamination can be attributed to the different anthropogenic activities taking place in the bay.

“…It combines mass balance and allometric theory in order to predict the accumulation of organic compounds and metals in aquatic or terrestrial organisms ). The OMEGA model has been successfully applied to estimate the accumulation behavior of many chemicals, including organochlorines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and metals Veltman et al, 2006;Stadnicka et al, 2012). Default values for parameters are obtained as a function of chemical properties (e.g., K ow ) and biological traits (e.g., body mass), to minimize empirical research that is severely limited by financial, practical, and ethical constraints.…”

“…Judged from these two examples and the negative coefficients of efficiency E (Fig. 1), it might be worth to include different food chains in OMEGA, such as a benthic, an intermediate hyper-benthic and a pelagic food chain (Veltman et al, 2006), provided that sufficient field-based accumulation values are available for comparing model estimates with field data. Another explanation for the variation in field-based accumulation factors might be found in temporal variation in biotransformation rates.…”
