Attraction water for fishways is typically introduced through a diffuser inside the entrance channel, often through the floor or wall. A gross velocity through a wall diffuser of 0.152 m/s has generally been accepted as the design recommendation for fishways on the east coast of the United States (largely for alosines), whereas the 0.305 m/s velocity has been used on the west coast (largely for salmonids). These velocity recommendations are largely based on experiments from the mid-20th century with salmonids and field observations, rather than any type of controlled experiment in recent times. In the spring of 2019, this laboratory study examined how 151 adult American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) responded to different gross velocities through a wall diffuser inside a full-scale fishway entrance channel. Two velocity conditions were studied, 0.152 m/s and 0.305 m/s, both without turning vanes inside the auxiliary water channel. The fish were tracked using the passive integrated transponder telemetry technique. The results of the experiments showed no difference in American Shad behavior when exhibited to the low and high velocity treatments. Moreover, shad passed the diffuser in roughly 3 out of every 4 attempts, regardless of the treatment. However, the similarity in shad behavior and passage performance is believed to be more of a result of the similarity in flow fields that resulted from the lack of flow guidance devices inside the auxiliary water channel. These findings therefore highlight the importance of properly maintained flow guidance devices, an often-overlooked component of an auxiliary water system. 20190618 20190621 ground condition Complete None planned USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center S.O.

Turners Falls MA 01376 413-863-3839 kmulligan@usgs.gov The authors wish to thank current and former USGS employees John Noreika, Stephen Walk, Samuel Parker and Kevin Molongoski for their assistance with the shad collection, construction, data collection, video review, antenna construction, and more. Without their help, this work would not have been possible. | Thank you to Alexander Haro for a thorough review of the manuscript. | We also thank Holyoke Gas and Electric for access to their site and assistance with the shad collection. | This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Water Power Technologies Office, DE-FOA-0001662 Award Number DE-EE0008340. The fish behavior PIT telemetry files are the raw data, thus no tests were performed to assess the accuracy of values. The hydraulics data were de-spiked using the Goring and Nikora (2002) method and filtered using a minimum correlation of 70% and 10 dB signal-to noise. The data matches the details provided and values fall within the expected ranges. The fish behavior data is for trials conducted in a 20 ft wide flume at the USGS laboratory, and may differ at other locations with different river conditions. The hydraulics data was collected following the completion of the fish behavior experiments and is specific to the trial conditions within the flume that were tested with fish. Hydraulics data collection: Fourteen cross-sectional measurements were taken for each diffuser treatment. Each treatment had one cross-section in the auxiliary channel, twelve in the entrance channel, and one over the entrance gate. The raw data were in the form of u-v-w velocity measurements for each of the 504 points (u is in the x-direction, v in the y-direction, and w in the z-direction). Data was collected with a Nortek Vectrino acoustic Doppler velocimeter (firmware Version 1.31þ and Software Version 1.22.00) with three dimensional side-looking prongs, transmitting at a length of 1.8mm, with sampling volume height of 5.5mm, and set at high power level. The sample recording rate was 200Hz for 90 s at each measurement point. Fish behavior data collection: The test fish, adult American shad, were captured from the Connecticut River at the Holyoke Gas & Electric’s Robert E. Barrett Fishway and transported to the USGS laboratory in a 4,160 L tank. Upon arrival at the lab, fish were typically removed from the water, placed on a measuring board, sexed, examined for injuries, measured for fork length, and were externally tagged with 32 mm half-duplex glass-encapsulated passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags near the dorsal fin. Fish movements throughout the study area were monitored using PIT antennas. Individually tagged shad were detected within ~1 m of each antenna. Detections were logged to a computer via multiple PIT receivers (Texas Instruments© TIRIFD model S-2000) to the nearest 0.1 s. 20200413 Velocity Data Comma Separated Value (CSV) file containing data.
