Senior Hydropower Technical Associate Tatiana Marzan and researchers at ORNL found, through detailed analysis of costs associated with fish exclusion, that FishSafe™ RHTs were more cost-effective.
Factor This reported on the recent peer-reviewed paper demonstrating 98.6-100% immediate survival for adult rainbow trout passing downstream through a FishSafe™ turbine.
Abe Schneider and Sterling Watson lay out the argument for FishSafe™ turbines in this paper published in The International Journal of Hydropower & Dams, Issue 5.
