“…Similar results have been observed worldwide: on the northeastern Brazilian coast, in relation to S. rustica (Castro et al, 2007(Castro et al, , 2008, in the Mediterranean, in relation to Hexaplex trunculus (L.) (Axiak et al, 1995), and in several harbors in Europe and in Halifax harbor, Canada, in relation to Nucella lapillus (L.) (Sousa et al, 2009). Other studies have also confirmed that areas near harbors and marinas are hotspots for TBT pollution (Barroso et al, 2002;Sousa et al, 2005).…”

“…The RPL found in the St7 was one of the largest of northeast. This station is to close to the international exportation harbour of the city and had been lower only of the RPL found by Castro et al (2008) in Alagoas and Sergipe. Despite of indexes taking penis length as their basis are viewed with reservations, given the possible relationship with testicular maturation and time of year (Rato et al, 2008), we consider that the RPL results of our study are reliable, since all specimens were collected at the same time.…”

“…Imposex was also detected in punctual studies along the Brazilian coast. Gastropods populations of S. haemastoma, Cymathium parthenopeum and Leucozonia nassa from Cabo Frio (Rio de Janeiro state; Castro et al 2007c); Nassarius vibex from Itacuruça island (Rio de Janeiro) (Cardoso et al 2009), the endemic marine snail Voluta ebraea (Castro et al 2008) andN. vibex (Lima-Verde et al 2010) from Ceará state; and C. partenopeum, T. deltoidea and L. nassa from Espirito Santo state (Costa et al 2009) were reported as impacted.…”

“…On the Brazilian coast, particularly in recent years, imposex associated to TBT has been reported in the southern (Castro et al 2012a), southeastern (Fernandez et al 2005;Quadros et al 2009;Costa et al 2009;Cardoso et al 2009;Borges et al 2013), and northeastern regions (Camillo et al 2004;Castro et al 2004;Castro et al 2007a, b;Fernandez et al 2007;Castro et al 2008;Lima-Verde et al 2010;Azevedo et al 2012). However, most of these studies have focused on rocky-shore species such as Stramonita haemastoma, Stramonita rustica, Thais deltoidea, Leucozonia nassa, Leucozonia ocelata, Cymatium parthenopeum, Voluta ebraea, Pisania auritula, among others (Castro et al 2012a).…”
