Fish & crustacean impingement: problems and examples

The principal environmental concern relates to the loss of fish and the resulting damage to the local populations. Such problems are likely to be particularly marked in small lakes or estuaries, and in coastal regions where direct-cooled power plants are concentrated. Read our feature which analyses the issue in British and Northern European waters. See also our reports on Hinkley Point, where Pisces staff have been studying impingement every month for 25 years. Pisces act as advisors to a variety of organisations on impingement including Riverkeeper in the USA and Nuclear Electric Plc in England. For information on how Pisces could help you, please contact us. We produce the commercially available PISCES expert system to predict impingement rates.
