Hydroacoustic Evaluation of Juvenile Salmonid Passage Through Experimental Routes at Bonneville Dam in 1998

Abstract

This technical report describes results of studies conducted by the U.S. Army Engineer District, Portland, and the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS, to evaluate prototype fish bypass systems at Bonneville Dam, Washington and Oregon. The bypass systems included a prototype surface collector at Powerhouse I, an extended submersible bar screen at Turbine Unit S, and the ice-trash sluice chute at Powerhouse 2. The performance of each route for passing juvenile salmon was evaluated using fixed-aspect hydroacoustics. Surface passage routes proved to be highly effective in bypassing young salmon.
