Occurrence of imposex in Thais haemastoma: possible evidence of environmental contamination derived from organotin compounds in Rio de Janeiro and Fortaleza, Brazil [PDF]
There are indications that the widespread use of organotin compounds (TBT and TPT) as antifoulings, as stabilizers in plastic and as pesticides, has severely affected several species of marine organisms.

Histomorfologia do órgão acessório de perfuração de Thais haemastoma (Mollusca, Gastropoda) [PDF]
Os representantes da família Thaididae são organismos predadores de outros moluscos, perfurando suas conchas pela ação alternada de secreção oriunda do "Accessory Boring Organ" (ABO) e por raspagem através da rádula. Nesta família, o ABO está localizado na porção ventral mediano-anterior do pé.

VOLUME REGULATION AND NITROGEN METABOLISM IN THE MURICID GASTROPOD THAIS HAEMASTOMA
Ammonia and primary amine excretion and concentrations of intracellular ninhydrin-positive substance (NPS) and free amino acids (FAA) were measured in Thais haemastoma acclimated to salinities between 5 and 35%o and over 14 days following direct transfer from 10 to 3O%o or from 30 to lO%o. There was no trend in excretion rates with acclimation salinity.

Sediment cores 40 cm depth were taken in triplicate at nine points along an unvegetable intertidal flat, to assess the ecological implications of sedimentological characteristics. Each core was sectioned in 5 cm depht layers.

Temperature and salinity are two of the most important physical factors affect ing estuarine organisms. In niost studies on the effects of physical variables on estuarine organisnus, all factors but one have been rigorously controlled and kept constant.

Studies of the Southern Oyster Borer, Thais haemastoma
Original work was carried on at the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries Laboratory on Apdachicoh Bay from August 1935 to April 1936. Since then observations have been made in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Five papers on specific aspects of the biology of the animal have been written since on this and other predatory gastropods. Here all commentaries are drawn

1. The predation and ingestion rate of Thais haemastoma on oyster spat is sensitive to temperature and salinity. The effect of salinity on predation rate was different at 20° and 30° C.2. The temperature threshold for predation was between 10° and 12.5° C; drills were not observed to feed below 7.5‰.3.
