Abstract

A six year (1973-1978) 23 stations survey of the Cape Fear River and the adjacent waters was instituted to determine the effects of the CP&L (now Duke) Brunswick 1,979 MW nuclear power plant on the biota, especially crabs, frequenting the area. Callinetes sapidus, blue crabs, were the most abundant of the five Callinectid crabs collected. Only 180 or 0.5% of tagged C. sapidus were impinged of the power plant intake screens.
