Imposex is the occurrence of male sexual features in female prosobranch mollusks exposed to organotin compounds. Since imposex has measurable characteristics, it has been used as a bioindication tool for the presence of this kind of pollutants. Thus, this work aimed to monitor organotin pollution over areas under the influence of ten main harbors of Northeastern Brazilian coast. Imposex intensity was measured using the indexes VDSI, RPSI, RPLI and the percentage of imposexed females. At least one sampling site in each studied harbor showed imposex, suggesting a widespread contamination by organotin compounds. However, the observed imposex levels are lower than those obtained by other monitoring works in highly industrialized regions of Eur...
