Fish transfer system and method
Disclosed is a system and method for transferring fish past a barrier between an upper and lower body of water, including an inlet conduit 11 connecting the upper body to a transfer chamber 13 adjacent the lower body, a delivery conduit 15 connecting the transfer chamber 13 to a level above the surface of the upper body, a valve 12 between the inlet conduit and the transfer chamber, and a gate 14 between the transfer chamber 13 and the lower body. The inlet conduit 11 holds sufficient water so that, once the gate 14 is closed and the valve 12 is opened, fish in the transfer chamber 13 are transported with the water in the transfer chamber through the delivery conduit 15 to an outlet 16.
TAIJI FISHWAY STRUCTURE
A Taiji fishway structure includes fishway pool chamber units arranged sequentially along a water flow direction, each fishway pool chamber unit includes an curved side wall, an curved deflector, and a first longitudinal side wall, a fishway vertical partition plate, and a second longitudinal side wall provided on the same side of the fishway. A head end of the curved deflector of the i-th fishway pool chamber unit connects to a head end of the curved side wall in the (i+1)th fishway pool chamber unit, and forms a fish passage vertical slot that matches target fish body size with an end of the fishway vertical partition plate in the (i+1)th fishway pool chamber unit, and water flow of the i-th fishway pool chamber unit is ejected toward the curved side wall in the (i+1)th fishway pool chamber unit through the fish passage vertical slot.
Auxiliary Facilities and Method for Fish Resource Recovery in Open Water Diversion Channel
The present invention relates to an auxiliary method and facility for fish resource recovery in an open water diversion channel, which includes: an inlet of the attraction channel arranged on a side wall of the open water diversion channel, a slope provided inside the attraction channel, wherein a lower end of the slope is located inside the open water diversion channel, and a higher end of the slope is located outside the open water diversion channel, an attracted water flow is arranged at the higher end of the slope to guide fish into the attraction channel and an outlet of the attraction channel is connected to a still water zone, wherein the still water zone is provided with a release device. The present invention effectively guides a significant number of fish that have mistakenly entered the open water diversion channel out of the channel through attracted attraction. This approach not only protects fish resources but also prevents channel blockages caused by massive fish intake, thereby avoiding power plant shutdown incidents, thus preventing substantial economic losses and, more importantly, ensures the operational safety of the power plant.
