Research concerning the relationship between gas supersaturation and thermal discharges is limited. Variables such as the increase in temperature of the cooling water across the condensers and the dissolved gas concentrations of the incoming cooling water must be considered. The occurrence of gas-bubble disease in fish in heated effluent waters has yet to be fully studied.marine fishtemperature effectsdissolved gasespower plantsenvironmental effectstemperature toleranceeffluentelectric generating stationelectric power-plantsenvironmental affectsenvironmental aspectsthermal pollutionriverslakesfishestemperature effectsBook
