[0084] 1. Select target fish

[0085] The target fish must be free of visible damage. The size range of the target fish should be consistent with the size range of fish used in the fish passage facility (0.3m-1.0m). For each indicator of fish swimming ability (e.g., sensory swimming speed), 10 to 100 fish should be used.

[0086] 2. Test fish swimming ability

Utilize video recording to analyze the time when each fish turns around, and you can know the swimming speed of each fish when it turns around, which is the induced swimming speed of each fish.

[0088] 3. Create a data analysis chart of fish swimming ability

[0089] Sort the swimming ability (sensing swimming speed) test results of each fish (SPx, SP is the swimming ability of the fish, x is the corresponding specific test index) from small to large (N is the total number of fish, n is the ranking of a certain fish). Make a scatter plot with (SPx, n / N) of each fish as the coordinate (such as Figure 1 Then, a linear equation y%=f(SPx) is fitted (the function f can be a straight line equation or a curve equation, SPx is the horizontal coordinate, and y% is the vertical coordinate).

[0090] 4. Design water flow velocity of fish passage facilities

[0091] When the design value of the water flow velocity in the fish passage facility is required to meet the swimming ability of y% of fish, the SPx value corresponding to the y% swimming speed test value on the vertical coordinate of the above data graph is used as the swimming ability characteristic value and as the design value of the minimum water flow velocity in the fish passage facility.
