What is Water Temperature Regimen Analysis of Intensive Fishfarms associated with Cooling Effluents from Power Plants about?

This work analyses the effect that the electrical market liberalisation has on the variation of water temperature regimes in intensive aquaculture plants, and more specifically, the fishfarms which take advantage of the cooling effluents from power plants. Data were obtained from a facility devoted to the European eels growth which takes the warm water from the cooling effluent from the Puente Nuevo thermal power plant (Co ́rdoba, Spain). The results indicate that the liberalisation of the electrical network has a significant influence on the form and quantity of energy generated by the thermal power plant, and consequently on the thermal regimes of the cooling effluent. A decrease in the mean water temperature (mean water temperature before liberalisation 1⁄4 25Á5 1C and after liberalisation 1⁄4 24Á3 1C) and an increase of variation range of water temperature (standard deviation before liberalisation 1⁄4 1Á7 1C and after liberalisation 1⁄4 2Á5 1C) inside the fishfarm were observed (without modify the management scheme of the production system) when the electrical market liberalisation was implemented. The growth potential of reared eels estimated from a growth capacity index (GCI)
