摘要：
Imposex has been recorded for the first time in the neogastropod Morula granulata (Duclos, 1832) from Manora Channel, which is one of the largest shipping hubs in Pakistan. No previous record of imposex is available for this marine intertidal species from Pakistan. Although the degree of imposex was not pronounced. 8% imposex and 16% imposex incidence was recorded in M. granulata at Manora Channel site. Histologically examined sections of female gonads from M. granulata revealed normal oogenesis with no evidence of development of male characteristics.
