Nucella lapillus populations continue to be absent from most of the Fal Estuary due to historical contamination by TBT. Observations on neogastropods just outside the mouth of the Fal confirm that imposex levels remain high and have not changed since studies began in the 1980s (Bryan et al., 1986). Hence, due to the extinction of...
