Three species of neogastropods, i.e. Thais clavigera, Thais luteostoma and Morula musiva, were collected from 12 site sin the coastal waters of Hong Kong, including clean and known metal-enriched ones. Accordingly, body trace metal concentrations varied greatly. Copper and zinc body concentrations compared poorly with those of accepted biominotors and presumed metal contamination profiles. Much is known about the feeding ecology of neogastropods on local shores and where direct observa- tional data were not available, their diets could, never- theless, be estimated reliably.
