Distribution and abundance of Corophium tuberculatum and Hydroides dianthus in relation to the thermal discharge from the Oyster Creek Generating Station

Artificial substrates were exposed for one-month or four-month cycles at six locations in Barnegat Bay, near the Jersey Central Power and Light Oyster Creek Generating Station. The distribution and abundances of the epibenthic gammaridean amphipods belonging to the genus Corophium and the serpulid polychaete, Hydroides dianthus, were studied in relation to the thermal discharge from the power plant.Prepared for Jersey Central Power & Light CompanyJune 27, 198
