PNNL Tests Fish Passage System

Rivers provide resources like fish and electricity, but hydropower dams hinder salmon migration. The Department of Energy (DOE) seeks innovative solutions to minimize these impacts. Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are testing Whoosh Innovations' fish transport system, which uses vacuum-like tubes to guide fish over dams. This system is compared to traditional methods like nets and trucks. Results aim to improve technology, ensuring salmon can migrate safely and support clean energy production.
