Abstract

Johnson (1973) reported on fish occurence and abundance starting 11 months before the Cedar Bayou Generating Station began operation and continuing through construction, initial start up, and the first year of production. This study gives data on the second year of plant operation; cluster analysis is used to organize data collected during both studies to determenine what changes have taken place in fish populations and what factors influenced these changes.
