Responses of selected Chesapeake Bay fish and invertebrate species to natural and artificial thermal increases - a review of the literature
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5759546
A review of the biological literature concerning the acute effects of thermal increases upon several fish and invertebrate species indigenous to the Chesapeake Bay was conducted. The acute effects data were combined with other natural life-temperature interaction data for developmental stages of Pseudopleuronectes americanus, Morone saxatalis, Leiostomus xanthurus, Micropogon undulatus, Menidia menidia, Anchoa mitchilli, Brevoortia tyrannus and Crassostrea virginica and Callinectes sapidus. The data were evaluated to ascertain what effects, if any, the thermal discharge (5.6C maximum delta T) from Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant would have upon populations of these species in the Chesapeake Bay. It was concluded from the data that a thermal discharge such as that from Calvert Cliffs would have little or no impact upon the egg, larval, juvenile or adult populations of the studied species.
