  abstract = {{I}n this work, two field campaigns were performed in {J}uly 2008 (wet season) and {M}arch 2009 (dry season) to produce original data on the concentration, partition and distribution of mercury and butyltin compounds along the tropical {B}ach {D}ang {E}stuary located in {N}orth {V}ietnam ({H}aiphong, {R}ed {R}iver {D}elta). {T}he results demonstrate that mercury and butyltin speciation in the surface waters of this type of tropical estuary is greatly affected by the drastic changes in the seasonal conditions. {D}uring high river discharge in the wet season, there was a large estuarine input of total {H}g and tributyltin, while the longer residence time of the waters during the dry season promotes increasing {MMH}g formation and {TBT} degradation. {A}lthough most of the {H}g and {TBT} is transported into the estuary from upstream sources, tidal cycle measurements demonstrate that this estuary is a significant source of {TBT} and {MMH}g during the wet (similar to 3 kg {TBT}/day) and dry (similar to 3 g {MMH}g/day) seasons.},
