The combination of hydrology, ecology and engineering has resulted in the smart design of a fish guidance system that changes the water flow and directs salmon past power plants.
Researchers from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) will collaborate with American scientists to develop new environmentally friendly solutions for hydropower.
DNA analyses are becoming an increasingly important method in research and nature management. To meet an increased demand from government and industry, the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) today opened NINAGEN, a national centre for conservation and biodiversity genetics in Trondheim.
Researchers seek to use turbulent eddies in the river to safely guide salmon and eels past hydropower plants.
NINA is an independent foundation for nature research and research on the interaction between human society, natural resources and biodiversity. Follow us on:
