Abstract

Radiolabeled tributyltin was introduced into an enclosed ecosystem in which most of the processes occurring in adjacent Narragansett Bay also can be found. The tributyl tin was initially removed from the water column with a half-life of 3. 5 days. A partitioning coefficient to suspended sediments of 4 multiplied by 10**4 was found for tributyl tin.
