    Molluscs Have Been Widely Used In Biomonitoring Of Aquatic Environments Because They Are Highly Sensitive To The Effects Of Hazardous Chemicals And Have The Capacity To Store In Shells The History Of Environmental Changes In Their Habitat. Lottia Subrugosa Is A Patelliform Gastropod Specie Found In Tidal Zones From Brazilian Coast. This Organism Is A Promising Tool To Be Used In Environmental Assessments In Monitoring Studies. The Present Study Evaluated The Association Among Traditional Biochemical Biomarkers With Biometric, Morphometric, And Elemental Composition Of L. Subrugosa Shells From Three Multi-Impacted Coastal Areas In Brazil. The Study Was Carried Out In Todos Os Santos Bay (Tsb), Santos/São Vicente Estuarine System (Sses) And Paranaguá Estuarine Complex (Pec), Using Three Sampling Sites To Seek Contamination Gradients On Each Area. Results Showed That All Biomarkers Evaluated Responded To Environmental Contamination, Regardless The Presence (Sess And Cep) Or Absence (Tsb) Of A Gradient Of Contami
