This report covers both fish facility design problems and the operation of fish facilities. Chapters on swimming speeds, spawning criteria, and food and oxygen requirement for several species of fish are included. The effects of temperature, water quality, silt and turbidity on fish are discussed. The toxicity on fish of elements and compounds, including metals, plastics, pesticides, and herbicides are reviewed. Hatcheries, rearing ponds and fish pumps are described. The subjects of fish behavior and diseases are addressed. Fishway structures at natural obstructions and dams are examined, as is the related subject of artificial guidance of fish.
