9 INTRODUCTION The ecology of York IIaven Pond near the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMINS) has been under investigation since February 1974.

Studies initiated in April 1974 include analysis of arbient water quality, ichthyoplankton (far-field), ichthyoplankton entrainment, macroinvertebrates, fish population dynamics, icpi. gement. of fishes, creel survey, and thermal plume rapping.

This report discusses the progress of inves tigations conduc t ed in October 1979.

2 MACROINVERTERRATES Objective: To describe the diversity and distribution of the benthic macroinvertebrates occurring at the five benthos sampling stations near TMINS.

Progress: Replicate (4) benthos samples were taken on 2 and 15 October (Table 1).

Enumeration, determination of dry weights, and identification of specimens have been completed through 15 October.

TC HTHYOPLANKTON Objectives:

(1) To determine the species composition, abundance, and distribution of ichthyoplankton in York IIaven Pond; and (2) To investigate ichthyoplankton entrained at TMINS Unit 1 and 2 Intakes.

Far-Field Progress: Computer generation of tables for the 1979 report van completed.

Entrainment Progress: Data were analyzed in preparation for the 1979 report.

TRAPNET Objectives:

(1) To determine the distribution and relative abundance of fishes in the Three Mile Island area vulnerable to trapnet; (2) To monitor the occurrence of diseased fishes; (3) To provide specimens for radiation analysis; and (4) To determine reproductive status for fishes throughout the year.

Progress: Samples were taken on 15-17 and 24-26 October (Table 1).

9 A

3 Thirty-two fish of eight species were taken on 15-17 October (Table 2).

Most fish (14) occurred at Station 11A3 while most sp.

ies (6) and greatest biocass (5.18 kg) occurred at Station 1A3. The pumpkinseed was most abun' dant and comprised 31.3% of the total catch. Three channel catfish and five rock bass were sacrificed for radiation analysis.

Two channel catfish vere parasitized by leeches. No fish were taken in the 15-16 October collection at Station 9B2.

A total of 103 fish of 10 species was taken on 24-26 October (Table 3).

Most fish (50) occurred at Station 11A2 while most species (7) and greatest biomass (12.21 kg) occurred at Station 9B2. The channel catfish comprised 62.17. of the total catch; most were juvenile.

Cver half of the channel catfish were parasitized by leeches.

No fish were t ' ken in the 25-26 October collection at Station 1A3.

No dead fish were observed in October.

SEINE Objectives:

(1) To determine the species composition of fish upstream and downstream from the TMINS Discharge vulnerable to seine; (2) To determine the relative condition factor for important species; and (3) To determine the rep oductive status for fishes throughout the year.

Progress: Collections were made at the 10 stations en 16 and 24 October (Table 1).

A total of 3,366 fish of 20 species was taken on 16 October (Table 4). Most fish (1,772) were taken at Station 13B5 while most species (12) and greatest bio = ass (0.34 kg) occurred at 1701 240 4

4 Station 16A1. The spotfin shiner was most abundant and comprised 83.1%

of the total catch. The following fishes exhibited slight black spot in fections :

spotfin shiner (82 specimens); bluntnose minnow (39);

fa11 fish (8); spottail shiner (7); tesse11ated darter (5); golden shiner (4); swallowtail shiner (2); and common shiner, quillback, and smallmouth bass (1 each). Protozoan infections were observed on eight bluntnose minnow and one comely shiner. One quillback and one pumpkinseed were parasitized by anchor worms and one tesse11ated darter by leeches.

No pattern of parasite infection was observed with respect to the location of TMINS.

Sampling on 24 October yielded 1,076 fish of 15 species (Table 5).

Most fish (502) and greatest biomass (0.13 kg) were recorded at Station 10A2 while most species (9) cecurred at Station 16AS. The spotfin shiner comprised 87.8% of the total catch; it was the most abundant species at all stations except 4A2. Sixty-one spotfin shiner and three bluntnose minnow exhibited slight black spot infections.

No pattern of parasite infection was observed with respect to the location of TMINS.

IMPINGEMENT OF FISH Objectives:

(1) To determine the numbers and species impinged on

~

the river water intake screens; (2) To determine day-night differences in impingement frequency; and (3) To determine the extent of mortality of impinged fish.

Progress:

Impingement surveys were conducted at the Unit 1 Intake C.' k k

5 on 24-25 and 30-31 October (Table 1).

Unit 1 impinged 9 fish of 5 species weighing 27.2 g (Tables 6 through 9). The total was comprised of 3 young, 5 juvenile, and 1 adult; 5 fish were alive and 4 were dead.

Six fish weighing 9.4 g were taken on 24-25 ottober and 3 fish weighing 17.8 g were taken on 30-31 October. The total estimated inpingement from Unit 1 for October was 139.5 fish acighing 421.6 g (0.9 lb).

Impingement surveys were conducted at the Unit 2 Intake on 17-18 and 22-23 October (Table 1).

Surveys were not concurrent with those at Unit 1 because of a malfunctioning winch at the Unit 1 screen wash basket which prevented net placement. Unit 2 impinged 41 fish of 7 species weighing 122.9 g (Tables 10 through 13). The total consisted of 24 young, 11 juvenile, and 6 adult; 8 fish were alive and 33 were dead.

The total estimated impingement from Unit 2 for October was 635.5 fish weighing 1,905.0, (4.2 lb).

The total estimated impingement for TMINS in October was 775 fish weighing 2,326.6 g (5.1 lb).

ELECTROFISHING Obj ectives :

(1) To provide specimens for radiation analysis; and (2) To determine the relative abundance of fishes vulnerable to electrofishing in various parts of York Haven Pond.

Progress: Sampling was conducted on 2, 3, 15, and 16 October (Table 1).

Twenty-four collections in twelve zones yielded 1,082 specimens of 22 species (Table 14). The walleye (178 specimens),

1301 242

6 af zzard shad (150), smallmouth bass (150), rock bass (134), quillback (121), and pumpkinseed (107) were most abundant. Two channel catfish, 14 rock bass, and 30 smallmouth bass were taken for radiation analysis.

CREEL SURVEY Objectives :

(1) To determine the extent and success of sport fishing; and (2) To determine information on angler residence and use of catch.

Progress: Creel surveys were conducted in all areas on 10, 14, 24, and 27 October (Table 1).

The 128 anglers interviewed fished 189.15 hours1.736111e-4 days <br />0.00417 hours <br />2.480159e-5 weeks <br />5.7075e-6 months <br /> and caught 219 fish (Tables 15 through 18). The actual harvest was 102 fish or 46.6% of the total catch. The mean catch per effort (c/e) was 1.16.

Most anglers (62), most fish caught (93), most fish harvested (55), and most hours fished (94.80) were recorded at York Haven Generating Station. The highest mean c/e (1.97) was recorded at the West Dam.

Smallmouth bass (102 specimens) were caught in greatest numbers.

The walleye (56) and black crappie (28) were also common.

Approximately 74% of the anglers lived in York or Dauphin counties.

Most of the anglers reported they eat some of their catch.

AMBIENT WATER OUALITY Objective: To determine concentrations of selected water quality parameters in mnbient river areas and the TMINS effluent.

Progress: Water quality samples were collected on 2 and 15 October 1701 243

7 at the five river stations (Table 1).

Data were analyzed and tabulated; results are presented in Table 19.

On 2 October values for pH, turbidity, and total zine were highest at Station lAl (upstream of the.TMINS Discharge); total and dissolved copper and dissolved zine were highest at lA2. Values for total dissolved solids were highest at Station 931.

On 15 October values for dissolved oxygen and total zine were highest at Station llA2. Values for dissolved zinc, sulfate, and water temperature were highest at stations lA2, llAl (TMINS Discharge), and 931, respectively.

Parameters, for which state water quality criteria have been established, were not exceed'd at any station in October.
