Previously, we reported that the practice using imposex-exhibiting rock shells is useful for environmental education. Thus, in the present study, to find the suitable points for collection of the rock shells, we investigated the sexual abnormalities of the rock shells inhabiting in Kumamoto harbor. The imposex-exhibiting rock shells were found in 9 of 17 harbors investigated. Furthermore, since a high occurrence of imposex was found in a several harbor of Kumamoto coastal waters, the contamination of organotin compounds may still remain at hazardous levels in the harbors.
