Triphenyltin (TPT) is an organotin pollutant widely found in the aquatic environment. It has endocrine-disrupting and osmotic pressure toxicity. In this study, the physiological and biochemical effects of TPT and various salinities were investigated in different tissues (gut, gill, and brain) of mar...
