Abstract
0.2–0.3 µg g-1 occurred concomitantly with a decrease in shell thickness index in the oysters, demonstrating that harm was occurring to a valuable marine resource. Deployment of C. gigas in the field has been shown to be a useful component in programs designed to monitor long-term changes in TBT concentrations. It is proposed that the presence of normally shaped C. gigas oysters yielding good meats are indicative of concentrations of TBT of <10 ng l-1
