Incubation of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) embryos in cooling water discharge and the impacts of fluctuating thermal regimes on development
Abstract
Thermal discharges released from industrial cooling water systems represent a potential environmental risk to fish species that spawn in nearshore waters. We investigated the impacts of in situ incubation of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) embryos in the vicinity of a nuclear generating station. Over 3 consecutive years, fertilized embryos were deployed in Lake Huron using custom-built incubation chambers coupled with data loggers to …
