  • Designing Fish Screens for Fish Protection at Water Diversions
    DESIGNING FISH SCREENS FOR FISH PROTECTION AT WATER DIVERSIONS Written By: Bryan Nordlund National Marine Fisheries Service 510 Desmond Drive S.E., Suite 103 Lacey, WA 98503 April 16, 2008 The following paper should be considered a working document, and its contents will be updated as errors are found and as technology progresses. The contents express the opinions of the author, and not necessarily the National Marine Fisheries Service. Consultation with local fisheries authorities is absolutely required to augment and confirm any information used from this paper. 1.0 -- INTRODUCTION Protecting the fisheries resources from hydroelectric, irrigation, municipal water supply and industrial water supply developments created the need for design criteria for the construction of juvenile fish screens to protect the fisheries resource from project impacts. This paper discusses a variety of topics involved in the juvenile fish screen design process, in a manner intended for the novice biologist, manager, planner or design engineer. Screen designs have been improved over the years mostly by the observation and evaluation of existing screens that were constructed based on a little bit of science, a generous dose of intuition and rudimentary understanding of fish behavior. Research in the field of fish passage was historically difficult to finance, and difficult to reach concise conclusions that could lead directly to the establishment of fish passage design criteria. More recently, biological and hydraulic testing of juvenile fish screens, and research specific to the design of juvenile fish screens has lead to further refinement of design criteria. Certain aspects of juvenile fish screen design criteria are now well understood for some species (such as maximum approach velocity and minimum mesh opening for juvenile salmonids), but data for many species is lacking.

  • Inventory of Barriers to Fish Passage
    APPENDIX A(1) Definition of Barriers Barriers to fish migration exist in many ways shapes, and forms. The range of salmon and steelhead has always been limited to some extent by natural features, such as sandbars, landslides, waterfalls, and boulder cascades. Man has further truncated their range with an astounding variety of instream features and effects, such as dams, culverts, water diversions, tidegates, and many others. The habitat fragmentation resulting from this expansion of impediments to fish passage has played a major role in the decline of salmon and steelhead populations worldwide. The following explanations provide a more thorough examination of some of the barriers identified and assessed in this report. However, barriers should not be examined in a vacuum. Appendix B(1) provides an overview of the broader range of habitat conditions necessary for the survival and perpetuation of anadromous fish stocks. Fish passage improvement proponents are urged to examine proposed barrier modification or removal projects in the context of all necessary habitat conditions. NATURAL FEATURES Upper Limits to Anadromy Sustained slope can be a useful tool to estimate upper limits to anadromy. The California Department of Fish and Game has conducted a literature review of this subject and selected a sustained slope of >8% as measured off of a topographic map to define the upper limit of anadromy for the California Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual, Section IX. That guideline is offered with the caveat that field level knowledge is best to use, since slopes from topographical maps often fail to capture important geographic features, such as bedrock falls or chutes.

  • Fish Survival on Fine Mesh Traveling Screens

Ray Tuttle Jr aBeak Consultants Incorporated, 140 Rotech Drive, Lancaster, NY 14086, USA bPublic Service Electric and Gas Company, 28 W. State Street, Suite 1414, MC-104, Trenton, NJ 08608, USA Abstract The survival of fsh impinged on 1-mm mesh Ristroph-type traveling screens was evaluated at Somerset Station, a 625-MW coal-fred electric generating station located on the south shore of Lake Ontario. Somerset Station was designed and built with an ofshore intake, discharge and fsh return system. Survival testing was conducted over a 4-year period that included all four seasons. Test fsh were diverted from the fsh return and held for 96 h for observation. Following observation, a specially constructed screening table was used to diferentiate test fsh that typically would have been impinged on a standard 9.5-mm mesh screen from smaller individuals that typically would be entrained. Twenty-eight species were tested, and collections were dominated by fve species: alewife, emerald shiner, gizzard shad, rainbow smelt, and spottail shiner. Survival rates commonly approached or exceeded 80%, and were infuenced by species, fsh size or life stage, season and fsh condition. Results are interpreted in terms of survival rates demonstrated elsewhere for entrained fsh and fsh impinged on alternative traveling screen technologies. © 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The program provides policy and management direction for Oregon’s freshwater fishery resources, ensuring native species are conserved. It also fosters and sustains opportunities for sport, commercial, and tribal fishers to catch hatchery and naturally-produced fish, consistent with the conservation of native fish. The program manages these resources to fulfill ODFW’s mission and statutory responsibility to “protect and enhance Oregon's fish and wildlife and their habitats for use and enjoyment by present and future generations.” The Hatchery Management Program within the IFP generates jobs and is a vital part of the State’s economy, particularly in rural areas. The Program produces 44 million salmon, steelhead and trout annually that are released into Oregon’s rivers and lakes. ODFW hatcheries provide more than 70 percent of the fish harvested in the state’s sport and commercial salmon, steelhead, and trout fisheries.

Hydraulic criteria meant to protect fish that encounter screens have been developed, but primarily for screens that are vertical to the water flow rather than horizontal. For this reason, we measured selected hydraulic variables and released wild rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss over two types of horizontal flat-plate fish screens in the field.
