Natel was selected to conduct a design feasibility study to assess the benefits of retrofitting existing turbines at the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project with FishSafe™ RHTs.
Natel/PNNL test of 186 rainbow trout measuring up to 500 mm indicated that the RHT allows safe passage.
Abe and Sterling explain how the FishSafe™ RHT can support hydroelectric power generation while also protecting freshwater diversity.
