This Fact Sheet provides methodological recommendations for quantifying the risk of harm and mortality to fish during passage from hydropower sites. The fact sheet "Evaluation of primary injury to fish at hydropower sites" is available for download.
The key messages of Fact Sheet No. 03 are:
- Studies to determine the risk of injury to fish at hydropower sites should consider the comparability of results.
- This requires a minimum of methodological standardisation. A uniform protocol for recording injuries is a basic prerequisite for this.
- Experimental studies with, individually marked fish guarantee reliable data and a high degree of comparability.
