Abstract
    Describes the development of male characters, notably a penis and a vas deferens, on the female (the phenomenon of 'imposex') of the dog-whelk. Blockage of the pallial oviduct prevents the release of egg capsules and renders the female sterile. The extent and cause of such reproductive failure is evident from the high incidence of females containing aborted capsules in declining populations close to sources of tributyltin contamination.
