As most any freshwater

slow down in cold weather.

they don't do much grow-

eat, and when they eat
they grow. To put to
good use the vast quan-
tities of heated water
that are a byproduct of
electric power production
is the intention of a
current program of TABS
research on the Texas
coast.
At the Cedar Bayou
plant of Houston Lighting
and Power, scientists
with the Texas Agricul-
tural Experiment Station
(TAES) are growing a
variety of fin fish, crab
and shrimp. These re-
searchers, who are also
in the Wildlife and
Fisheries Sciences Depart-
ment at Texas A&M
University, are putting
this heated water to use
in their mariculture pro-
gram .
Dr. Kirk Strawn directs
five graduate students in
a year-round mariculture
program testing three
types of culture, all using
the power plant effluent.
These are: D a laboratory,
2) fish ponds, and 3) cages
in the cooling water.
All three are testing
the heated water as a
medium for ‘‘hurry up”
fish production. In the
laboratory, about 30
species of fishes are grown
and studied.
The 25 quarter-acre
ponds are stocked with
shrimp, redfish, speckled
trout, flounder, spot,

The coolant water is
pumped through the
ponds in about 21 a days.
While in the ponds, the
water ranges in tempera-
ture from about 90°F to
50°F. The major goal in
the pond experiment is to
discover how to best use
the heated water to
extend the growing period
of the marine life.
The cage project is
testing mariculture pro-
duction in a 2,600 acre
reservoir used for cooling
water. (More than 1.4
billion gallons of water
per day are heated by
three units and must
be held in this lake until
it cools to bay tempera-
ture.) Cages of fish also
are being tested in the
powerplant intake and
discharge canals leading
to the lake.
Cage testing is de-
signed, Strawn says, to
find which species, raised
together, are most effi-
cient in using the available
food with minimum foul-
ing of cages.
In another TAES Pro-
ject being conducted at
Texas Power & Light
Company’s Trinidad Plant,
similar experiments are
being conducted to learn
more about the culture of
channel catfish and an
African fish called the
tilapia. This project,
under the direction of
Dr. Richard L. Noble, has
concentrated on the use
of powerplant canals for
raising the fish in cages
year around.
Studies at the Trinidad
plant have included ex-
periments to improve
cage design for more
efficient culture, to deter-
mine optimum numbers
and pounds of fish to raise
per cage, and to find the
most practical feeding
rates. The 4 years of
research at Trinidad have
shown that if certain pro-
blems of confining fish
to cages can be over-
come, fine results can be
attained. Channel catfish
have been raised at den-
sities of over 500 per
cage (cubic meter) and
have gained over a pound
for each l'/u pounds of
a special cage ration fed.
However, tendencies for
the caged fish to become
aggressive and attack one
another have caused
unpredictable mortality,
as has the incidence of
certain bacterial infec-
tions. These problems
probably represent the
major limitations to the
development of wide-
spread cage culture of
catfish at the present
time.__

One of the more
interesting aspects of the
catfish studies, and one
with application to cat-
fish farming anywhere,
has been the discovery
that appropriate feeding
will result in better
frozen storage of catfish
fillets. The study, just
completed by graduate
student Timothy O'Keefe,
indicates that feeding
high levels of Vitamin E
just a few weeks prior to
slaughter greatly enhances
the storage stability of
frozen catfish. Thus an
economical method is
available to improve the
product, and in the long
run, the demand for cat-
fish.
Interest in tilapia as a
culture species ts growing
Not only does this bream
like fish taste good, but it
grows very rapidly and
takes little feed. One
study conducted by
O’Keefe and Noble in the
intake canal of the plant
indicated that growth
occurred without any
feeding at all. Water,
rich in phytoplankton
(plant) organisms, flowing
through the cages, pro
vided enough food for
some growth. With addi-
tional feeding of low
rates of pelleted feed,
fish gained 1 pound for
each 1.6 pounds of
feed consumed.
The scientists agree
that tests so far indicate
good possibilities of using
heated water to increase
the state's production of
shrimp, blue crab and
finfish. An increased
supply of these widely
popular foods will he
welcomed by us all.
