Dear list members
Over the past few years we have been counting Atlantic salmon smolts on
a small chalk stream in southern England using a combination of
resistivity counters, video surveillance and automatic PIT tag readers.
This has allowed a completely hands off approach and thus doesn't
interfere with the downstream migration. Over the years we have tried
several counting channels in a number of locations including a glass
sided flume (1.4m wide; 1m high and 10m long), which can carry the
entire discharge of the stream in which the smolts are to be counted.
My questions are:
1: Are there any technologies other than resistivity counters i.e.
hydro-acoustic, laser counters that could be used to count smolts (10 -
20cm) and deployed in such a situation (i.e. a small flume)?
2: Would these alternative methods allow an estimate of individual
sizes of migrating smolts?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Adrian
