英文摘要 | Tributyltin (TBT) was a commonly used biocide in anti-fouling paints for marine vessels, however, it had negative impacts on non-target species, including causing imposex in dogwhelks (Nucella lapillus). Since the 1980s, legislation has been introduced to curtail its usage, culminating in a ban by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in 2008. In 2004 a national imposex monitoring network was established in Northern Ireland to determine the level and extent of TBT pollution. The level of imposex in N. lapillus was assessed according to the degree of male sexual development in the female using three measures: percentage of imposex-affected females (%I), the relative penis size index (RPSI), and the vas deferens sequence index (VDSI). All sites showed improvement since the initial survey with a reduction in imposex and an improvement in ecological quality under the classification of the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (OSPAR). © 2020 |
