Butyltin (tributyltin TBT; dibutyltin DBT and monobutyltin MBT) speciation was measured in the liver of beluga whales from the St Lawrence Estuary and Hudson Strait (northern Quebec). Using GC-MS, liver samples were analysed from 21 beluga whales found dead, stranded along the shores of the St Lawre
