The effect of a thermal effluent on the benthos of Thomas Hill Reservoir, Missouri. Master's thesis
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7302974
Numerical abundance, biomass, and species diversity of benthos were compared between two arms of a reservoir; the Hotwater Arm was thermally loaded while the Control Arm was under ambient temperature. Maximum surface temperature was 37C while bottom muds varied between 8-29C. Current drifted benthos and deposited them at the mouth of the Hotwater Arm, beneath the influence of the heated water. Heated water had no apparent deleterious effects on the benthos.
