i ETI?,COUCTION The ecology of York F.aven Pand near the Three u.ile Island ?,*ucicar S tation (T'4I'3) has been under investi;2 tion since February 1974.
Studies initiated in April 1974 include analysis of ambient -tater qualiev, ichthyoplankton (far-ficid), ichthycplankton entraim :nt, nacrainvertchrates, fish population dy-,-ics, inminge ent of fiches, creel suriey, and ther.21 plu=e =pping.
The data coding program was initiated in January 1979.
This report discusces the progress of I_nvesti;ations conducted in Fe':ruary 1979.
