responses to the Millstone thermal discharge have been described by 

 Hillman et al . (1977) . 



In addition to baseline and monitoring investigations, several 

 special studies have been conducted at Millstone which provided some 

 information useful in evaluating New Haven Harbor finfish data and the 

 effects of Harbor Station. Larval, juvenile and adult winter flounder 

 (Pseudopleuronectes americanus) studies conducted in Niantic Bay were 

 used in evaluating some of the seasonal trends observed at New Haven. 



Shorehccm and Northport^, New York 



The Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) conducted a year-long 

 investigation at its Northport, New York, fossil-fueled power-plant 

 during 1972. These data were summarized in a report prepared by the New 

 York Ocean Science Laboratory (NYOSL) (Austin et al . , 1973). Similar 

 NYOSL investigations were conducted for LILCO during 1973 at the pro- 

 posed Shoreham nuclear site (Austin and Amish, 1974) . Sampling with 

 gill nets, otter trawl, and beach seine generally occurred monthly in 

 these investigations; however, the gear and methodologies employed were 

 not equivalent to those of the NHHSEMS. 



Additional Shoreham baseline finfish data were collected by 

 the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) 

 during 1971 and 1972 (Zawacki and Briggs, 1976) and by LILCO (Perl- 

 mutter, 1969; 1970; 1971). As was the case for the NYOSL studies, the 

 gear types used in these early studies are not comparable to those 

 employed in the NHHSEMS. Nevertheless, data from these sources illus- 

 trate trends that are compared in this report to concomitant trends in 

 New Haven Harbor.
