ABSTRACT: Understanding the flow characteristic in fishways is crucial for efficient
fish migration. Flow characteristic measurements can generally provide quantitative
information of velocity distributions in such passages; Particle Image Velocimetry
(PIV) has become one of the most versatile techniques to disclose flow fields in
general and in fishways, in particular. This paper firstly gives an overview of
fish migration along with fish ladders and then the application of PIV measurements
on the fish migration process. The overview shows that the quantitative and detailed
turbulent flow information in fish ladders obtained by PIV is critical for analyzing
turbulent properties and validating numerical results.
