larvae were removed from whole samples and identified to lowest practical taxon. Fish eggs were identified 

 year-round beginning in May of 1979 and from only April through September from 1981 through the 

 present. As the technology became available, a splitter (NOAA-noume, described by Botelho and Donnely 

 1978) was developed that allowed accurate subsampling and reduced .sorting time. Successive subsamples 

 were processed until at least 50 larvae and 50 eggs (for samples processed for eggs) were found, or until 

 one-half of the sample was examined. Samples collected at EN were sorted for both fish eggs and larvae, 

 but NB samples were sorted for larvae only (see Appendices III and IV). This further reduced laboratory' 

 processing time, but resulted in only minimal loss of infonnation (NUSCo 1983). Gunner [Taulo^olahrus 

 adsper.ws) and tautog (Tautoga onitis) eggs were differentiated weekly using the criterion of bimodality of 

 egg diameters (Williams 1967). Ichthyoplankton density was expressed as numbers per 500 m . 



Impingement program 



Fish impinged on the 9.5-mm mesh intake screens at Units 1 and 2 were periodically washed into 

 perforated collection baskets. Screens wash at various intervals, depending upon debris loading, and
