Savannah River Aquatic Ecology Program. Volume II. Ichthyoplankton. Annual report, September 1983-August 1984
This report presents the results of the 1984 Savannah River ichthyoplankton monitoring program. The objectives were: (1) to determine the density and distribution of ichthyoplankton at designated locations in the Savannah River, tributaries and intake canals of the SRP between the New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam (RM 187.1), and the area of tidal influence near Port Wentworth, Georgia (RM 29.6); (2) to evaluate the river and creeks upstream, adjacent to and downstream of the SRP for their relative contribution to the ichthyoplankton community of the Savannah River system; (3) to provide data to evaluate the impact of the present and proposed cooling water intake rates on fish eggs and larvae; (4) to provide data to evaluate the impact of existing and proposed thermal discharges to the river; and (5) to provide information on the magnitude of yearly variations in ichthyoplankton density and abundance in the mid- and lower reaches of the Savannah River and its tributaries.
