Any additional methods at mitigation or avoidance of stranding would also be of interest. Information sources can be from published or grey literature, or summary of ongoing investigations. Please contact Dr. Dana Schmidt at dschmidt@golder.com with any information that may be pertinent.

One of the issues associated with flow regulation is the incremental mortality associated with fish stranding as a result of dam operations. We are interested in the experience of others with this issue with particular interest in data obtained quantifying impacts on populations of fish and measurements of the effectiveness of changing operations, such as ramping rates, on reducing impacts and the resulting effect on fish survival or abundance.
