Abstract
Summary: - ethylborate and Grignard methods are both applicable for organotin analysis in biota samples; - limit of quantification: 1 - zebra mussels showed lower TBT/TPT levels in comparison to bream (on weight weight basis); - decrease of TBT concentrations in bream from 1993-1999 (exception: Elbe/Blankenese); probably caused by prohibition of the application of TBT-based antifoulings to small ships (< 25 m); - concentration of TPT was higher in the Rhine bream as compared to the Elbe bream (possibly from the use as fungicide until 2000); - in bream from two sites of the Elbe (and from the river Mulde) high values of TTBT were detected.
