Imposex and organotin compounds in marine gastropods and sediments from the Mar del Plata coast, Argentina
The occurrence of imposex in Adelomelon brasiliana during two consecutive years near to Mar del Plata (the principal fishery port of Argentina) and its relation to tributyltin (TBT) and dibutyltin (DBT) content in muscle tissue and digestive gland was investigated using gas chromatography.
