Highlights of the work developed

SMTDs

The Lateral Line Probe (LLP) was developed and tested with data collection at IST lab and at Schiffmühle HPP.

A collection of lab data set with a the Lateral Line Probe and fish behaviourobservations was performed to achieve a concrete series of “flow signature” features related to known thresholds of fish sensing stimuli.

The extension of the turbine fish mortality model BioPA to European species is underway

The Barotrauma Detection System (BDS) sensors were developed. The field deployments for testing are underway.



SMTDs

A data filter methodology for VPS tracks of individual fish is under development to study individual behaviour.

The equipment for a tracking fish with very high accuracy (3D ultra sound fish tracking) is available

3D fish tracking system in flumes - first test of the hardware was conducted



SMTDs

Software tool development for hydropeaking impact

assessment on fish habitats is underway, as well as the

overall method to assess hydropeaking effects and

mitigation measures.

Vulnerability factors for some representative species will

be addressed.

Structural improvement measures (shelters) tested at IST

laboratory flume



SMTDs

Modelling of fish passage facilities and donwstream area underway at Guma HPP, Spain.

FGS Type I Horizontal Bar Racks, several rack configurations were built tested. First experiments with floating debris and leaves have been carried out. Live-fish tests started in August.

Regarding FGS Type II Vertical Bar Racks, new bar shapes have been developed and tested. Measurements of the flow field and hydraulic losses were done. Live-fish tests started in August.

PIT-tag Radio-telemetry CFD

Fish migration (Guma):


• 4 antennas working since 23rd May

• 165 barbels tagged with PIT (9 – 25 cm fork length)

Some preliminary results:

32/165 barbels have located the fishway

8/32 barbels ascending with sucess

Ascent time 40 min to 2 h (8,5 m height)

Some fish seem to live in the fishway

• Radiotags: 5 tagged barbels were released

upstream and downstream the HPP.

Bragado HPP test case

• Analysis of river discharges, habitat and fish populations;

• Assessment of the hydropeaking effects on fish populations;

• Fish behavior (movement and habitat use);

• Evaluation of solution available to mitigate those effects;

• Field implementation of solution selected and assessment of

their results;

• Application of the Hydropeaking Tool.

Increase the knowledge about the effects of hydropeaking in small Iberian streams and to identify appropriate solution to mitigate such effects.
