- eds.
The effects of turbine passage on anadromous fishes of the northeast United States were investigated in the field and laboratory. Kaplan, Ossberger and bulb turbines were studied using Atlantic salmon smolts (Salmo salar), juvenile and adult American shad (Alosa sapidissima), juvenile blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis), stripped bass (Morone saxatilis) and rainbow and steelhead trout (Salmogairdneri). The effects of turbine size and electric power level on mortality were studied in the field. Laboratory investigations and other field studies focused attention on turbine-induced scale loss and its potential for sublethally affecting Atlantic salmon smolts, juvenile American shad and blueback herring. The investigations provided valuable guidance for conducting turbine-passage studies in the future and furnished useful estimates of acute and delayed mortality.
