Fish pass at the Hydroelectric Power Plant in Smołdzino - monitoring results
In reference to previous information about the fish pass, we would like to present the current results that we managed to obtain thanks to the work of the biometric fish monitoring station.
As a reminder to analyze the phenomenon of fish migration and species identification, a Biometric Fish Monitoring Station was installed at the upper station, in the first chamber. Monitoring the movement of aquatic organisms in the fish pass is based on the HSMR hydroacoustic system. It uses two detection methods: hydroacoustic based on hydroacoustic transducers and optical method based on optical cameras.
