The bromotyrosine derivative Ianthelline isolated from the Arctic marine sponge Stryphnus fortis inhibits marine micro- and macrobiofouling [PDF]
International audienceThe inhibition of marine biofouling by the bromotyrosine derivative ianthelline, isolated from the Arctic marine sponge Stryphnus fortis, is described. All major stages of the fouling process are investigated.

ABSTRACT While several US studies demonstrate the importance of using marginal tax rates (MTRs) to study corporate decisions and tax incentives, research using MTR in the Canadian setting is limited. The MTR literature has made several improvements on the estimation process using US firms, but these advances have not been made available for Canadian ...

Size, season and origin of gastropods matter in imposex assessments
Through controlled exposure to tributyltin (TBT), the effects of season, size, and population origin were evaluated on imposex incidence in Stramonita brasiliensis. Four experiments were carried out with organisms collected from three different sites on the Brazilian coast (Torres - Rio Grande do Sul, Farol de Santa Marta - Santa Catarina, and Aracruz -

A review of organotin contamination in arctic and subarctic regions
Organotin (OT) compounds are of continued Arctic concern as they are still widely used despite the most well-studied OT, tributyl tin (TBT), being restricted from use on marine vessels to prevent fouling by marine organisms. The highest OT concentrations
