Abstract The effect of entrainment on estuarine phytoplankton was studied at three steam electric stations located on tributaries of Chesapeake Bay. In most cases, chlorine rather than heat was implicated as the most important factor in the reduction of the rate of carbon assimilation. The reduction of carbon assimilation in the mixture of a plant effluent and augmentation water was greater than explained as mechanical and heat effects. Thus, chlorine was judged as the primary factor under these conditions. One study that involved three consecutive days exemplified the problem of interpreting significant statistical interactions and main effects in a multivariate design when tests are conducted under natural conditions.
