This is the second workshop specifically devoted to the utilization of power plant waste heat in aqaculture. It was held at the Continuing Education Center of Rutgers, The State University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, March 29-31, 1978. The purpose of this Workshop was to bring together experts and representatives from industry, government and universities to update and exchange information developed since the first waste heat aquaculture Workshop held at Trenton State College, November 6-7, 1975. A notable change in emphasis in the second Workshop is the inclusion of a number of papers dealing with overseas (non-U.S.) aquaculture research programs. This brought new perspectives with regard to the different approaches for development of waste heat aquaculture technology by different industrial societies. The papers presented at the Workshop are reproduced, essentially as delivered with only minor modifications, if any, by the Workshop Coordinating Committee. The views presented are those of the authors.

A state-of-the-art assessment of research, demonstration, and commercial projects that involve the use of power plant condenser cooling water for agricultural and aquacultural purposes was conducted. Information was obtained from published literature, site visits, and communications with knowledgeable individuals. Thermal effluent uses were discussed for controlled environment greenhouses, biological recycling of nutrients from livestock manures, soil heating and irrigation, environmental control for livestock housing, grain drying, food processing, as well as the culture of numerous aquatic organisms. A large number of research and feasibility studies have been conducted, but few commercial enterprises are utilizing thermal effluent. Interfacing problems, environmental and legal restrictions, along with insufficient technology, have not allowed widespread commercial application. Specific research needs were discussed.
