HC Deb 11 March 1969 vol 779 c273W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to establish fish farms at power stations using sea water for cooling.

Mr. Hoy

Experimental work is being undertaken by the White Fish Authority on rearing soles in warm water effluent from the Hunterston Nuclear Power Station, but until the considerable scientific and practical problems have been overcome it would be premature to plan for the widespread adoption of this technique on a commercial basis.
