The effect of small scale in-stream hydro-schemes on riverine fishes
• Small-scale in-stream hydro-electric generating schemes are burgeoning
• The impact of this new technology on ecosystems is poorly understood
This project is :• Using radio telemetry, PIT tagging to quantify salmonid
behaviour• Instrumented weir and Archimedes screw generator
• ultimate goal provide clearer guidance on appropriate sitting of small hydro schemes

“Life history strategies in Salmo trutta”
• Sea trout support important fisheries • numbers have been dropping rapidly Ireland/Scotland
over the last 2 decades
• Q – What is a sea trout ?• What individual characteristics promote sea migration?• What environmental conditions promote sea migration?
This project is:• Individual fish characteristics – size growth &
metabolic rate• Environmental conditions that promote smolting –
growth opportunity• Genetic background – do sea trout and brown trout
always derive from the same population?
