Workshop Proceedings: Results of the Richard B. Russell Fish Entrainment Study Held in Savannah, Georgia, 18-19 January 1989

Abstract

Workshop presentations documented the assessment phase of the study in which the potential for entrainment and subsequent mortality of fish in turbines of the RBR Dam were evaluated for proposed pumped storage operations. Session I concentrated on general information describing the J. Strom Thurmond (JST) Lake fishery and compared fish compositions and abundances in the tailwater with those in other portions of JST Lake on a seasonal and annual basis. Session II presentations focused on detailing information on the fishery in the tailwater of RBR Dam. Session III featured associated studies or recently planned or newly completed work to address issues and problems arising since the RBRFES was begun. Keywords: Fishes mortality/turbines; Dams/reservoirs; Fish entrainment; Hydropower impact; Pumped storage; Fisheries; Richard B. Russell Dam.
