Abstract
Total tin and tributyltin (TBT) concentrations were measured in the br own trout, Salmo trutta, in 1988 from three river systems that had bee n contaminated by losses of TBT from timber preservation plants, Mean total tin concentrations in trout muscle ranged from 0.07 to 0.48 mg/k g, In the more contaminated areas approximately 30% of this tin was in the form of TBT.
