Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Diversion of Adult Salmon by an Electrical Field
Figure 2. -specifications of electrical weir. A. Plan view giving general dimensions; B. Detail of electrode and ground line installations. The Entiat diversion weir, as shown in figure 3. Differs from the idealized structure in that there are no abutments, and wooden A frames have been substituted for steel. The cost of materials for this 175 -foot weir when it was installed in 1953 was $800. The installa tion itself was made by laboratory labor and required 200 man hours. The entire yearly maintenance cost including placement and rs moval of electrodes for seasonal operation is represented by less than 16 man hours of labor. The electrical demand varies with the number of electrodes submerged and the depth to which they are submerged. At low water stages of the river with approximately 32 feet of electrodes submerged the demand was 300 watts At med ium high water with 56 feet of electrodes sub merged, the demand was 450 watts.
