River Rother Fish Pass
People Involved
Project Description
This project aims to assess the efficiency of a new style of fish passage solution on the River Rother. Anthropogenic alterations to river systems are one of the main causes of freshwater fish declines as they restrict access to key life stage habitats. Fish Passage Solutions (FPS) can offer passage to fish to allow access to key life stage habitats, but they are seldom studied for their efficiency. As this style of FPS has never been installed in the UK before, the assessment of its efficiency is fundamental to understand before other barriers are installed with this design.
