Initial Power Plant Effects On Fish Distribution In A Small Florida Estuary
The distributional responses of fishes to operation of a newly constructed power plant were assessed for indigenous populations of the Anclote Anchorage and River, Florida. Studies conducted during 1976 compared stations removed from potential plant effects with data collected from areas adjacent to plant intake and discharge.
