| Abstract | Previous estimates of larval production and power entrainment, distributed over four power plants, are revised using a lumped parameter method by which power plant mortality is estimated independently of natural mortality. Using the method, mean daily power plant entrainment of four species of ichthyoplankton averaged over three seasons of production (1975-77) ranged from zero to 7.6%. The estimates are statistically consistent with earlier estimates made by a more laborious, distributed parameter technique. |
