The marine environment continues to be adversely affected by tributyltin (TBT) release from maritime traffic. Therefore the concentrations of TBT, dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT) were measured in barnacles, mussels and fish along the Eastern Aegean coastline. The average concentrations of TBT ng Sn g⁻¹ were found to be 235 in fish, 116 in mussels and 635 in barnacles. The highest concentrations of TBT, DBT and MBT were observed in the barnacles which had been sampled in marinas and harbors. All mussels sampled showed values of TBT+DBT, which were below the "tolerable average residue level (TARL)" as currently accepted. This indicates a lack of risk to the consumer. However, 7 out of the 15 fish sampled displayed TBT+DBT levels above the TARL, which indicates that a fish consumer group may be at risk. Barnacles have high potential as biomonitors for the presence of organotin in the Aegean Sea.
海洋环境继续受到船舶交通中三丁基锡（TBT）释放的不利影响。因此，在爱琴海东海岸沿线的藤壶、贻贝和鱼类中测量了 TBT、二丁基锡（DBT）和单丁基锡（MBT）的浓度。发现鱼类中 TBTngSn g⁻¹ 的平均浓度为 235，贻贝中为 116，藤壶中为 635。在码头和港口采集的藤壶中观察到 TBT、DBT 和 MBT 的浓度最高。所有采集的贻贝均显示 TBT+DBT 值低于目前公认的“可接受的平均残留水平（TARL）”。这表明对消费者没有风险。然而，在所采集的 15 条鱼中，有 7 条鱼的 TBT+DBT 水平超过了 TARL，这表明鱼类消费者群体可能存在风险。藤壶是监测爱琴海中有机锡存在的高潜力生物标志物。
