Fish Migration Traps

Fish migration traps are structures designed to guide fish during their seasonal movements, such as spawning migrations. They work by providing a controlled pathway that directs fish toward a designated area, like a hatchery or safe passage. These traps often consist of barriers or screens that prevent fish from continuing upstream naturally, encouraging them to enter a holding or collection zone. Once inside, the fish can be studied, counted, or transported for conservation or management purposes. They help manage fish populations sustainably while minimizing harm, enabling scientists and fishery managers to monitor and support healthy fish migrations.
