Abstract

Heat resistance times of 10 species of crustaceans representing 5 families and 65 fishes from 32 families were determined during June 1974 through Septmeber 1975 to estimate percentage survival in the discharge canal system of the P.H. Robinson Generating Station, Bacliffe, Texas. Animals were taken directly from the intake canal and placed at experimental temperatures.
