Abstract:

Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a comprehensive evaluation system has been developed to assess the performance of vertical slot fishways. This system incorporates 30 factors related to fish passing efficiency, thereby facilitating a detailed analysis of hydraulic characteristics, engineering layout, operation management, and monitoring. For its practical application, the vertical slot fishway at the Laolongkou Hydro-junction project’s comprehensive evaluation was assessed and consequently rated as "Operating Excellently". This rating accurately reflects the fishway’s operational

Abstract:

Fragmentation of rivers has a negative impact on river’s ecological status which can be improved by the construction of fishways next to obstacles in rivers that prevent a free migration. Flow field characteristics are key factors in the design process of hydraulically efficient fishways—flow and turbulence patterns in a functional fishway allow fish to enter, progress through and exit with minimum time/energy expenditure. The aim of this paper is an experimental study of the flow field characteristics measured in the physical fishway model with the goal of providing information on the Reynold

Abstract:

Fishways are hydraulic structures allowing fishes upstream migration through engineering constructions in the rivers. The Denil type has a wide application and the main components are flat baffles. In this paper, we present a new type of baffle (arc-shaped baffle) to ameliorate the hydrodynamic characteristics in the fishway. The main improvement of arc-shaped baffle fishway is the alteration that the flat baffles are replaced by arc-baffles. In order to investigate the influence of water flow on migratory fish in the arc-baffle fishway, model tests were conducted. Based on the experimental re

To provide passage for migratory native fish, a series of 14 vertical-slot and lock fishways are being constructed on the Murray River in south-eastern Australia.

Due to the complex structure and the multiformity of boulder arrangements, there is currently no perfect design criterion for nature-like fishways. This paper proposes four types of nature-like fishways arranged with an impermeable partition wall (IPW), a semi-permeable partition wall (SPPW) or a fully permeable partition wall (FPPW). The hydraulic characteristics of these fishways were investigated experimentally. The results show that the discharge of the fishway arranged with a FPPW was almost twice that of an IPW fishway, and the discharge of a SPPW fishway was between the two extremes. Th

With the aim of building more compact fishways and adapting them to field conditions to improve their location by fish, it is common to use turning pools, reducing the longitudinal development of the construction. However, depending on their design, turning pools may affect the hydraulic performance of the fishway and consequently the fish passage. To study these phenomena, turning pools in a vertical slot and in different configurations of submerged notches with bottom orifice fishway types were assessed.

River artificial fragmentation is arguably the most imperilling threat for freshwater-dependent fish species. Fish need to be able to freely move along river networks as not only spawning grounds but also refuge and feeding areas may be spatially and temporally separated. This incapacity of free displacement may result in genetic depletion of some populations, density reduction and even community changes, which may in turn affect how meta-community balances are regulated, potentially resulting in functional resilience reduction and ecosystem processes’ malfunction.

The purpose of this study was to allow fish to move upstream past barriers or difficult sections of passage, even on steep stream-type fishways. Therefore, the authors devised a roughness arrangement to raise the water depth in the fishway and reduce its flow velocity. Roughness was used as a group in the arrangement so as to expect afflux effects. Water depth was raised and the flow velocity was reduced around the roughness groups, which allowed fish to hold position and move upstream.

Evaluation of fishway success has typically been conducted at local scales using metrics such as fish passage efficiency and passage time, but evaluations are increasingly used in broader assessments of whether passage facilities meet population-specific conservation and management objectives. Over 15 years, we monitored passage effectiveness at eight dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers for 26,886 radio-tagged spring-summer and fall Chinook Salmon O. tshwaytscha, Sockeye

Abstract:

Abstract Fishway design not only takes into account the swimming abilities of target fishes, but also considers the hydrodynamic characteristics within the fishway. In this study, the flow fields of one vertical-slot fishway (i.e. VSF), five T-shape fishways (i.e. TSF-1~TSF-5) and two H-shape fishways (i.e. HSF-1 and HSF-2) are numerically simulated by solving the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the K-Omega-SST turbulence model. The numerical results clearly indicate that the hydrodynamic properties of HSF-2 are overall superior to the remaining seven cases, in

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the hydraulics of culverts with offset baffles to pass fish. Using analytical considerations and experimental observations, a flow equation has been developed between the discharge, diameter, depth, and slope for a culvert fish way with the standard offset baffle system. The velocity field at the slot has also been evaluated. Some further experiments were performed to assess the effect of baffle spacing and height on the hydraulics of the culvert fishway.

Abstract:

Fishways act as ecological corridors, enabling migratory fish species to surmount barriers such as weirs or dams, which are crucial for the restoration of river ecosystems. The island-type fishway is a novel design that utilizes a combination of island structures and valvular configurations to dissipate the kinetic energy of water flow, decelerate the water velocity, and thus reduce the challenge faced by fish attempting to ascend the watercourse. The impact of valvular configurations on the hydrodynamic characteristics within an island-type fishway was explored. The results showed that the ma

Abstract:

The reproduction and survival of fish are often negatively affected by the construction of dams and other hydroelectric projects, which cut off their migratory routes. Building effective fish passage facilities that allow fish to pass through dams smoothly alleviates the negative impact of hydroelectric projects on the ecological environment, thus protecting the diversity of aquatic species and preventing the extinction of indigenous fish. Vertical slit fishways are highly effective, but turbulence inside the fishway pools directly affects fish passage. In this study, the large-eddy simulation

Fishways can effectively validate the effectiveness and rationality of their construction, optimize operational modes, and achieve intelligent scientific management through fish species detection. Traditional fish species detection methods for fishways are unsuitable due to inefficiency and disruption of the fish ecological environment.

However, challenges include the limited computational power of onsite equipment, the complexity of model deployment, low detection accuracy, and slow detection speed, all

Studies have shown selectivity for different neotropical fishes in some Brazilian fishways, and the main challenge has been to promote upstream passage of a large number of diverse fish species.

Abstract Guangxi Changzhou Fishway is the first significant water conservancy project above the mouth of the Pearl River and also the first large fishway independently designed in China. It is the primary migration channel for six kinds of state-level protected fish, such as Chinese sturgeon and a typical vertical slit fishway. This paper takes the Changzhou fishway as the research object, based on the theory of fluid mechanics, and adopts the method of combining theoretical analysis, experimental research, and numerical simulation to study the flow field of different water depths in the pond.

Vertical slot fishways are increasingly common structures for the passage of a wide variety of migratory fish and contribute to the maintenance of fish diversity in fragmented rivers. These structures are designed with several geometric arrangements and, consequently, flow patterns through them can be shaped to present suitable characteristics for the fish species. To aid in the design of vertical slot fishways, a three-dimensional numerical model was used to simulate the flow for different geometric configurations. An existing vertical slot fishway with nonstandard dimensions was initially mo

The Columbia River Basin faces a threat from the potential invasion of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), notorious for their ability to attach to various substrates, including concrete, which is common in fishway construction. Extensive mussel colonization within fishways may affect fish passage by altering flow patterns or creating physical barriers, leading to increased travel times, or potentially preventing passage altogether. Many factors affect mussel habitat suitability including vectors of dispersal, water parameters, and various hydrodynamic quantities, such as water depth, veloci

High discharges at hydropower plants (HPP) may mask fishway attraction flows and, thereby, prevent fishes from locating and using fishways critical for their access to upstream spawning and rearing habitats. Existing methods for determining attraction flows are either based on simple guidelines (e.g., a proportion of HPP discharge) that cannot address the spatial and temporal complexity of tailrace flow patterns or complicated studies (e.g., combinations of detailed hydraulic and biological investigations) that are expensive and time-consuming.

A flow equation has been developed to predict the flow depth for any given discharge, diameter, and slope. The barrier velocity that would exist at the slot in the baffles has also been predicted in a general manner. This relatively simple slotted-weir baffle system has been found to match the performance of the more complicated but frequently used offset baffle system of similar dimensions. Key wor
