Thermal effluent from electric power generating plants is 

 expected to be a matter of increasing concern as power output 

 grows. The author provides information on his surveys of the 

 experimental uses of this waste heat to hasten the growth of 

 various aquatic species in several countries. Also, a design 

 concept is discussed for an integrated shrimp culture operation 

 at a power plant site. Operating and capital costs are estimated 

 (including hatchery, growth to market size, and processing opera- 

 tions) in the context of using sensitivity analysis to determine 

 economic feasibility at any site. 

 Subject descriptors: 

 Powerplant heat use; technology; method evaluation.
