Abstract
The presence and the development of imposex were investigated in the common whelk (Buccinum undatum) and the red whelk (Neptunea antiqua) from the open North Sea and the Skagerrak. Imposex development was related to levels of organotins in snails and in the fine fractions (<63 μm) of the sediments they inhabit. The sampling locations were classified according to three levels of traffic densities of ships of ≥100 gt per day passing within 15 Nautical miles of the sampling station, shipping levels being: high (>10 ships day
