  • Piscivory and Prey Size Selection in Young- Of-The-Year Bluefish: Predator Preference Or Size-Dependent Capture Success?
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 114: 59-69,1994 Published November 3 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. 1 Piscivory and prey size selection in young- of-the-year bluefish: predator preference or size-dependent capture success? Francis Juanes*,David 0. Conover Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York. Stony Brook. New York 11794-5000, USA ABSTRACT: Young-of-the-year bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix become piscivorous at a very small size/age. When feeding on Atlantic silversides Menidia menidia in the laboratory, bluefish forage in groups and, unlike many other piscivores, tend to attack their prey tail-first. Attack distances, times and velocities as well as attack rates were not size-dependent Handling tlmes and attack success rates, howcver, were strongly determined by both predator and prey slze When given a choice of silverside sizes, all bluefish sizes consumed primarily small prey. These results suggest that bluefish attack all prey sizes upon encounter but capture primarily small prey. Size selectivity may be a passive process mediated by differential size-based capture success KEY WORDS: Piscivory . Prey size selection Foraging theory . Capture success . Bluefish INTRODUCTION prey are preferentially consumed (Brooks & Dodson 1965, Werner & Hall 1974), while others have shown As fish grow they tend to broaden the size range of the reverse (Bence & Murdoch 1986, Walton et al. prey items they ingest, thus increasing the average 1992).

Nieder, Biologist II (Ecology) Steam Electric Unit Bureau of Habitat Division of Fish, Wildlife, and Marine Resources Albany, NY 12233 July 2010 Citations This report was prepared by: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Bureau of Habitat Division of Fish, Wildlife, and Marine Resources 625 Broadway Albany, NY 12233 This report is a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Technical Document and should be cited in the literature in the following manner: Nieder, W.C. 2010. The Relationship between Cooling Water Capacity Utilization, Electric Generating Capacity Utilization, and Impingement and Entrainment at New York State Steam Electric Generating Facilities. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Technical Document. Albany, NY. July 2010. Page 1 of 27 Abstract Throughout New York State, many industrial facilities operate cooling water intake structures and use large volumes of surface waters for cooling machinery or for condensing steam. The steam electric generating industry uses the largest percentage of this cooling water: up to 17 billion gallons per day. The federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and 6 NYCRR § 704.5 requires that the location, design, construction and capacity of cooling water intake structures reflect the “best technology available” (BTA) to minimize adverse environmental impact (i.e., impingement and entrainment). Understanding the relationship between cooling water use, electric generation and the associated adverse environmental impact is critical to determining how this impact can be minimized by managing flow and generation at a facility.

  • South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (The Applicant), Columbia, South Carolina, for the Virgil C
    A - - i SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS This Final Environmental Statement was prepared by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, Directorate of Licensing. 1. This action is administrative. 2. The proposed action is the issuance of a construction permit to the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (the Applicant), Columbia, South Carolina, for the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit I (the Summer Station), a power reactor located in Fairfield County, S.C., 26 miles northwest of Columbia, S.C., and 1 mile east of the Broad River, near Parr, South Carolina (Docket No. 50-395). Unit I will employ a pressurized water reactor to produce up to 2775 megawatts thermal (MWt). A steam turbine-generator will use this heat to provide 900 MW (net) of electrical power capacity. A "stretch" power level of 2914 MWt is considered in the assessments contained in this statement. The exhaust steam will be cooled and condensed by once-through flow of water from Monticello Reservoir, a 6800-acre reservoir to be created by the Applicant for operating a proposed pumped storage hydroelectric station near the nuclear station. Although the Summer Station is to be constructed as a closely related part of the Applicant's pumped storage project, for the purpose of this statement only the environmental impacts of construction and operation at the nuclear generating station are evaluated. At this time, the Federal Power Commission is conducting an environmental review of the construction and operation of the Fairfield Pumped Storage Hydrostation (FPC No. 1894). These two environmental statements, together, will cover the overall environmental impact of the construction and operation of the conglomerate.
