Retrofitting of Existing Bar Racks with Electrodes for Fish Protection—An Experimental Study Assessing the Effectiveness for a Pilot Site
Downstream-migrating fish in rivers tend to follow the main current, and are in danger of swimming through the turbines at run-of-river hydropower plants, possibly causing high mortality rates. To avoid these losses, fish must be prevented from entering the turbines. Most existing vertical bar rack...
