New EPRI Report Provides Monitoring Results From Ohio River Ecological Research Program
Ohio River Ecological Research Program (ORERP): 2007 Ohio River Monitoring Results (1019550).  This EPRI Technical Report presents the results of the 2007 ORERP fish population sampling near 10 Ohio River power plants that cover nearly the entire length of the river.  The sampling program consisted of adult/juvenile fish, habitat, and water quality field studies conducted upstream and downstream of the participating power plants.  The report provides information on methods for assessing fish populations in large rivers and determining the effects of power plants on fish communities.  For more information, contact Doug Dixon, (804) 642-1025, ddixon@epri.com.
