Contamination of the Firth of Forth (Scotland) by tributyltin compounds leached from antifouling paints has been identified using the degree of penis development (imposex) in the common dogwhelk Nucella lapillus. In 1987, a high degree of imposex was observed in the vicinity of pleasure craft activity, fishing harbours and a boat yard, reflecting localised inputs of tributyltin from these sources. Dogwhelks collected in 1975 from sites comparable to those surveyed in 1987 showed lower degrees of imposex and also a lower incidence of penis development in females.
通过普通滨螺（Nucella lapillus）的阴茎发育程度（性畸变），已确认来自防污漆中沥出的三丁基锡化合物对福斯湾（苏格兰）造成了污染。1987年，在游艇活动、渔港和造船厂附近观察到高度的性畸变现象，这反映了这些来源对三丁基锡的局部输入。1975年从与1987年调查地点类似的地方采集的滨螺显示出较低的性畸变程度，且雌性中阴茎发育的发生率也较低。
