A Comparison of Direct Survival/Injury of Eels Passed Through Francis and Propeller Turbines

Year: 2017

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Stocks of catadromous American Anguillarostrata and European A. anguilla Eels have declined over the last several decades.• Among a host of factors cited for these declines, mortality resulting from downstream passage through turbines at hydroelectric facilities has been of concern.• Estimates of immediate (direct effects) passage mortality can be obtained with relatively high precision using the HI-Z Turb'nTag methodology which allows fish to be entrained through a specific passage route and be recaptured downstream.
