There now appear to be over 40 demonstration/commercial projects involving the application of thermal waters‐often the thermal effluents of electric generating plants‐to the aquaculture of fish species. These projects are taking place in several countries, e.g., Canada, England, Iceland, Japan, and the United States (California, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin). The crustaceans, mollusks and fishes under culture include carp, catfish, eels, lobsters, mussel, oysters, perch, plaice, salmon, sea bream, shrimp, sole, trout, white‐fish, and yellowtail. This paper, based on a literature search and survey replies from sponsoring organizations, operators, and principal investigators, serves the purpose of providing a beginning inventory of current empirical developments in thermal aquaculture.
