In September 2021, Natel conducted formal testing with PNNL on a cohort of American eel passing through the RHT test unit operating at 670 rpm under 10 m of hydraulic head. Following the test the eels were monitored for 48 hours with 100% survival.
A recent study published in Transactions of the American Fisheries Society shows 100% safe passage of the endangered American Eel through Natel's Restoration Hydro Turbine.
