Description

Expected outcomes
Determination of maximal velocities associated with 'safe' passage of juvenile white sturgeon through either the RHT or conventional turbine. Objective 3: measurement of lethal and sub-lethal impacts of RHT passage on juvenile white sturgeon at low and high operational velocities.
Expected outcomes
Collection of data pertaining to the impacts of RHT passage impacts on short- and long-term mortality, growth rates, and behavior. Additionally, collection of frozen blood plasma samples from fish exposed to passage for laboratory analysis (objective 4). Objective 4: analysis of the collected blood samples for evaluation of physiological stress response.
Expected outcomes
Measured concentrations of blood plasma cortisol, glucose, and lactate from fish exposed passage through the RHT at low and high velocities. Objective 5: statistical analysis of collected data on fish mortality, growth, behavior, and stress response.
Expected outcomes
Scientifically rigorous results determining the lethal and sub-lethal impacts of RHT passage on juvenile white sturgeon. Objective 6: write one or more scientific manuscripts documenting the results of this work for publication in the scientific literature as well as a final report.
Expected outcomes
Draft manuscripts ready for submission to scientific journals.
