“…A number of studies have demonstrated the deleterious effect of TBT on nontarget marine organisms such as neogastropod imposex (Ellis and Pattisina, 1990;Michael, 2002), shell deformations of oysters (Axiak et al, 1995), sterilization of Gastropoda (Oehlmann et al, 1996), Mytilus edulis with high morality due to butyltins (Beaumont and Budd, 1984). In spite of the restriction on the use of TBT based antifouling paints in several countries (Evans et al, 1995), butyltin compounds are still present in aquatic ecosystems, particularly in areas with intensive docking activities as well as possible industrial discharges.…”

“…The main biological alterations initially ascribed to the widespread use of organotins were balling in oysters (Alzieu et al, , 1989Axiak et al, 1995;Dyrinda, 1992), death of mollusk larvae (Horigushi et al, 1998) and imposition of male sexual characteristics to females of gastropods (Ellis & Pattisina, 1990;Fioroni et al, 1991;Gibbs & Bryan, 1987). This last effect, denominated imposex is induced in several gastropod species both in the field and in laboratory studies at very low concentrations of TBT (imposex is initiated at less than 1ng/L -1 TBT in Nucella lapilus, and at 3-5ng/L -1 all females may be sterilized (Gibbs & Bryan, 1994; concentrations of 1ng/L -1 can induce imposex development in Thais clavigera, Horiguchi et al, 1995).…”

“…Le tributylétain demeure la seule substance hautement toxique (FENT, 1996) La contamination des espèces marines (seston, poissons, crustacés, échinodermes, bivalves et gastéropodes) était ubiquiste dans tout l'écosystème du fjord avec des facteurs d'accumulation biote-sédiments (« biota-sediment accumulation factor » ou BSAF) très variables de 0,32 à 11 (calculés pour les butylétains totaux), mais sans bioamplification importante entre les niveaux trophiques (VIGLINO et al, 2005). La mesure de l'imposex (ELLIS et PATTISSINA, 1990) chez Buccinum undatum a montré qu'une forte proportion des gastéropodes males de la baie des Ha! Ha!…”
