Abstract
Velocity of condenser cooling water at numerous sampling sites at some Great Lakes power plants was examined in relation to larval fish entrainment. Current velocity was found to differ significantly in many cases at all depths, for sampling locations spaced 1 m apart in the vertical plane. Extensive use of current meters showed that a simple, presampling study of current velocity at the intake or discharge could improve the accuracy of entrainment estimates.Key words: current velocity, larval fish, entrainment sampling, power plant
