“…Since the development of imposex in gastropods is related to cumulative exposure to tributyltin (TBT) and related chemical compounds (e.g. Smith 1971, Gibbs et al 1987, Bryan & Gibbs 1991, Mensink et al 1996, Oberdorster & McClellan-Green 2002, Stickle & Zhang 2003, it is possible that female whelks are younger than imposex female whelks and have thus been exposed to environmental sources of TBT for less time. TBT is a documented environmental pollutant in the Chesapeake Bay (Unger et al 1986, Bryan et al 1989, Huggett et al 1996, and concentrations between 1 and 100 ng l -1 (Unger et al 1986, Huggett et al 1996.edu/ env/projects/tbt_deq/index.html) have been observed in the regions where rapa whelks have been collected (Harding & Mann 1999 and this paper).…”

“…Nucella lapillus), is specifically sensitive to triorganotin compounds such as tributyltin (TBT) and tripentyltin (TPT) (Stroben 1994, Mensink et al 1996b. Since the distribution area of B. undaturn ranges from the lower intertidal zone to the deep-water zone the snails are considered as suitable invertebrates for the monitoring of long-term effects caused by TBT-containing biocides (ten Hallers-Tjabbes 1979, Gibbs & Bryan 1986, ten HallersTjabbes et al 1994, 1996.…”

“…Functional sex change of gastropod induced by organotins, however, has not been directly demonstrated at any developmental stage. Juvenile Buccinum undatum exposed to TBT, just after hatching, showed a dosedependent proportion of the young developing male sexual characters (Mensink et al, 1996), but no follow up study has been reported to ascertain whether the functional sex ratio is altered. Gibbs et al (1988) recorded suppression of oogenesis and production of sperm in female N. lapillus raised from hatched juveniles under the influence of TBT.…”
