Tributyltin in biota dataset supporting the 2024 Belgian MSFD assessment of D8C1
This dataset is part of the 2024 Belgian submission for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) linked to descriptor 8, criterion 1. This dataset reports concentrations of tributyltin (TBT) compounds in biota (mussels Mytilus edulis and flounder Platichthys flesus) in the Belgian part of the North Sea.

- Statement
- Mussel samples are collected at groynes and stored overnight in salt water for sediment removal before freezing (-20°C); flounder samples are collected by beam trawl fishing, with liver and muscle stored frozen (-20°C). Organotin methods are accredited under ISO17025, following strict QA/QC protocols (first-, second- and third-line controls, incl. ring tests). Monitoring is coordinated by RBINS and ILVO under the OSPAR Coordinated Environmental Monitoring Programme and the Water Framework Directive. Mussels (Mytilus edulis) hand-collected at groynes (Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Knokke); flounder (Platichthys flesus) caught by beam trawl. Derivatization with sodium ethylborate in an acidic water-methanol-hexane medium, hexane extraction, clean-up by GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography), quantification by GC-MS.
