Two 4-foot wide baffled chute fishways are tested side-by-side in the Conte Lab's Fish Passage Complex's east flume.  The fish ladders are instrumented with passive integrated transponder antennas/reader.  River herring, collected from the mouth of the Chicopee River are tested to assess entry and ascent rates.
