future evaluations. The model will be brought inhouse for use by Northeast 

 Utilities. 



The future research at Millstone specifically on the winter flounder 

 should be directed by the requirements of the stochastic matrix model. 

 A model of this sort is the best means to integrate and reduce the large 

 amount of data available on the winter flounder to predict changes as a 

 consequence of longterm plant operations. The projections may be coupled 

 with a risk assessment analysis to determine the acceptibility of any 

 estimated losses or reduction in local stock size.
