Juvenile Alewife Passage through a Compact Hydropower Turbine Designed for Fish Safety

Abstract: Hydropower is a valuable renewable energy source, but its effects on the downstream passage of many riverine fish species are not well understood. Turbines that are designed to function as safe downstream passage routes for fish are being developed with the goal of mitigating the effects of hydropower operations on the environment. In this paper, we present the results of a study conducted with the juvenile life stage of the Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus, a major migratory species on the Atlantic coast of North… Show more

“…Fish mortality caused by a low-head turbine can sometimes be estimated by recovering all fish after they passed through the turbine [5,6]. It seems improbable that such straightforward and comprehensive methodology could be adapted to obtain mortality caused by a MHK turbine in the TED area in Minas Passage.…”

“…Given ( 5) and the physical requirement that the number of signals must be ≥0, it seems that an improved estimate for the expected number of signals detected along a track would be N (y|z, s, s d ) = max −0.30 + 0.87 N E , 0 2 (6) and the probability of the track with closest approach y being detected would be…”
