Abstract
⺠Tributyltin was not the most toxic antifouling biocides for 12 marine species. ⺠Irgarol was more toxic than TBT on the growth of autotrophic species. ⺠Toxicity of copper pyrithione was comparable to that of TBT for most test species. ⺠Copper pyrithione showed a higher toxicity than TBT on fish larvae. ⺠The toxicity data are useful for ecological risk assessment in tropics/subtropics.
