Abstrakt: Following a North Sea Task Force (NSTF) initiative in 1991, and funding from the Department of Environment (DOE), The Scottish Office Agriculture, Environment and Fisheries Department Marine Laboratory (SOAEFD), Aberdeen, was awarded a contract to assess the impact of tributyltin compounds in dogwhelks in all North Sea coastal waters. These waters were surveyed in 1991 and 1992 to evaluate the distribution and effects of tributylin (TBT) compounds on the common dogwhelk, Nucella lapillus. Wild and, where necessary, transplanted dogwhelks were analysed for imposex.
