Effects of tributyltin (TBT) on Xenopus tropicalis embryos at environmentally relevant concentrations

Tributyltin (TBT) has been widely used as a biocide in antifouling paints and is a known endocrine disrupting chemical. In this paper, we exposed embryos of Xenopus tropicalis to 50–400 ng L −1 tributyltin chloride. TBT significantly decreased the survival rate, reduced the body length and retarded...
