We want to ask a direct question: when you look at the data coming out of your current fish monitoring setup, do you trust it completely? Not just the count. The species breakdown, the size distribution, the wild-to-hatchery ratio, the timing of sub-groups within the run. Do you trust all of that?
Our guess is that for most operators, the honest answer involves some qualification. The count is...
The idea of knowing exactly what fish is passing a given point in a river, its species, its size, whether it came from a hatchery, whether it carries an injury, in real time, used to be aspirational. The technology and processing power required simply didn't exist at a practical field deployment scale. That has changed.
A fish recognition system built on high-definition imaging and...
Are fluctuating reservoir levels making your permanent fish ladders useless? Why are we still building static concrete for a dynamic climate? If you manage a large-scale hydropower facility, you know the struggle of the "moving target." As water levels drop, traditional entries often sit high and dry. This makes compliance a seasonal nightmare. It is time for a fresh perspective on the...
Have you ever considered that the safest way down for a fish might not be the most obvious one? Why are we spending millions on upstream ladders while downstream smolts are still navigating dangerous turbines? For years, the industry focused on getting fish up the river. But the return trip is just as critical for population survival. Implementing modern downstream fish passage solutions is no...
As an operator of a dam, hatchery, or aquaculture facility, you understand that disruption is inevitable. Whether it’s a sudden turbine shutdown, a river flow blockage due to a landslide (like the Big Bar incident), or a system failure requiring immediate dewatering, the clock starts ticking the moment your fish become trapped or endangered. In the current climate, these emergencies are...
Rivers are the lifelines of diverse ecosystems, supporting thousands of species of fish whose survival depends on unobstructed passage to spawning grounds and feeding habitats. However, the construction of dams, culverts, and other infrastructure has fragmented over 80% of global river systems, severely impacting migratory fish populations. This fragmentation disrupts natural behaviors and...
The conflict between infrastructure and ecology has never been sharper. Hydropower dams, irrigation systems, and flood control structures all provide essential human benefits, but they fragment rivers and create barriers for migratory species like salmon, steelhead, and trout. Traditional ladders and bypass channels often fail to cater to the complexity of species behavior.
