Background/Purpose

Attendance and participation at the annual meeting of the American Fisheries Society (AFS) enable the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) aquatic biologists to maintain expertise and keep abreast of new developments in the field. Additionally, it is an ideal opportunity to interact with other agencies as well as experts regarding particular fish species or bioengineering capabilities as they relate directly to NRC’s licensing actions regarding construction and operation of nuclear power plants. Participation in the meeting also provides an opportunity for the NRC staff to discuss the agency’s needs and issues regarding effects on biology resulting from construction and operation of nuclear power plants.

Abstract: Summary of Pertinent Points/Issues

The AFS holds annual meetings that include several concurrent symposia on various topics related to fish, fisheries, and fish habitat. NRC staff participated in several symposia, including Bycatch Reduction, Marine Fish Ecology, Bioengineering, Statistics and Modeling, Highly Migratory Large Pelagics, Sustainable Sturgeon, Hydropower & Sustainable Fisheries, Climate Related Drying Effects, Sensitivity of Fish and Fisheries to Climate Change, Managing Impacts to Fish and Fish Habitat, and Habitat and Water Quality.

Presentations and discussions in the symposia are directly related to NRC’s environmental review of combined license (COL) applications. NRC staff focused on discussions involving data collection, Federally listed species, essential fish habitat, cooling water intake designs, and mitigation measures to reduce adverse effects on aquatic organisms and habitat.

No policy matters were identified that need to be brought to the Commission’s attention, and no issues were identified that need management attention. The interaction was worthwhile and achieved the desired outcome of maintaining and expanding expertise in the field of aquatic ecology. Due to the large number of new fisheries issues and research, it is recommended that NRC staff attend the annual meeting routinely. Enclosure 1

Discussion

Presentations and discussions at the conference will benefit NRC’s environmental impact analysis in the area of aquatic ecology. Several presentations involved studies that were conducted at nuclear power plants to assess effects on productivity of aquatic ecosystems and sensitive fish populations and indicator species.

Of particular interest, the NRC staff participated in several discussions regarding technology to reduce adverse effects on aquatic organisms. Such technology and research focused on impingement, entrainment, thermal stress, increased predation due to anthropogenic environmental shifts, impacts due to sound attenuation of in-water construction activities, and foregone production. Mapping and data distribution technologies were discussed in several symposia, particularly focusing on habitat issues such as protection of essential fish habitat and limitation of wetland losses.

Such topics receive much attention during NRC’s COL application review process. Additionally, participation in AFS meetings gives NRC staff the opportunity to learn new technologies, expand expertise in fisheries biology, and discuss environmental regulatory activities with representatives of other government agencies, academia, and industry.

Pending Actions/Planned Next Steps for NRC

NRC ecologists plan to continue to participate in AFS activities, particularly the annual meetings that bring together active members from government, academia, industry, private sector, and other organizations.
