Fake fi sh invented in Richland will help save real fi sh
The devices are

RICHLAND, Wash. —
Mechanical fi sh developed
in Richland have made their
way through dams from Ice
Harbor near Pasco to the
Mekong River in Southeast
Asia.
Now hundreds more are
expected to be deployed
around the world, thanks to
an agreement to commer-
cialize the technology devel-
oped at Pacifi c Northwest
National Laboratory.
The fi sh are just 3.5
inches long, about the size
of a larger salmon smolt.
But they are packed with
instrumentation that can give
scientists, and now dams and
other hydro facility opera-
tors, an idea of what passing
through dams is like for fi sh.

sor Fish has helped show the
pressure changes in the dam
turbine chambers that also
can harm fi sh.
A fi sh traveling through a
dam can experience an enor-
mous drop in pressure in an
instant and just as quickly
return to normal pressure,
according to the laboratory.
The lab compares it to a
human zipping to the top of
Mount Everest in the blink
of an eye.
The sudden pressure
changes can injure or kill
fi sh that depend on a bal-
loon-like organ known as
a swim bladder to maintain
buoyancy at different depths.
The bladder shrinks as
the fi sh goes deeper and
pressures are greater and
increases in size as the fi sh
rise, instantly expanding
four or eight fold in some
species.
Data provided by the
Sensor Fish can help to rede-
sign dam turbines so they
create less severe pressure
changes while maintaining
or even improving power
production, according to the
laboratory.
ON THE RECORD
Schools close due to wintry weather

and the speed at which the
sensor fi sh rotates.
The Sensor Fish devel-
oped by Pacifi c Northwest
National Laboratory is now
commercially available for
studying the stresses on
fi sh as they travel through
specifi c dams around the
world.
It allows dam operators to
help understand the stresses
on real fi sh, such as juvenile
salmon, as they take a poten-
tially wild ride through dams
and then make improve-
ments to structures.
PNNL began develop-
ing the Sensor Fish in the
late 1990s to improve fi sh
survival at the hydroelec-
tric dams along the Pacifi c
Northwest’s Columbia River
basin, including on the
Snake River.
“The vast majority of
juvenile salmon and steel-
head passing through the
turbines survive without
injury in the Columbia River
basin,” Deng said. “Still we
want to understand more
about the injuries and mor-
tality that do occur from
abrupt pressure changes in
dam turbine chambers.”
Fish can be hurt or disori-
ented by the turbulence of the
water and the blades of a tur-
bine can strike them, if that’s
the route they take through
the dam. But research with
an early version of the Sen-
at 4:30 p.m. runs through
6 p.m. It is a chance for
anyone to come and discuss
issues or voice concerns.
