This article examines the costs being incurred by hydroelectric power projects for the protection of affected fisheries. The author feels these costs are far out of proportion with the revenues from power sales. The topics discussed in the article include salmon recovery, a growing burden, instream flow, fish passage and screening, the need for power, and fisheries agencies' control.
