Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Response of Migrating Adult Salmonids to Vertical and Horizontal Rectangular Orifices at Two Depths
The position and type of entrance used to attract migrating fish into fishways can be important factors in expediting the movement of fish at dams. A key part of fish-facility complexes at most hydro-electric plants on the Columbia River is the powerhouse fish collection system, a long channel extending across the face of the powerhouse and con taining a number of entrances for fish. This channel is one of several routes to the main fishways. To enter the powerhouse collection channel, however, migrants attracted by the turbine discharge must locate entrance ports above the turbine draft tubes. Large dis charges from fishway entrances also attract numerous migrants directly to the entrances of the main fish ladders.
