Abstract (EN): Recently, male urogenital papilla feminization (UGPF) in the sand goby Pomatoschistus minutus was reported in several UK estuaries with high levels of estrogenic compounds. The fact that this species is also common in southern European estuaries, together with its life-cycle characteristics, prompted us to investigate P. minutus UGPF in the northwestern of Iberian Peninsula. Specimens of P. minutus were periodically sampled during 2004 at several locations in two estuaries (Minho and Lima). Evidence for UGPF was recorded in both estuaries, the highest incidence being observed in the Lima estuary (50%). Estrogen levels (17 beta-estradiol and estrone) above 100 pg/l were observed in both estuaries, the higher concentrations being found in the Lima estuary. Overall, the results suggest a relationship between the feminization of male P. minutus urogenital papilla and the presence of estrogenic compounds. In the future, more in-depth studies are required in order to use P. minutus as a sentinel species for estrogenic compound monitoring in estuaries.
