A model hydrosystem with a fish passing structure arranged along the axis of the spillway front was set up in a hydraulic tank of 6.5 m length and 1.2 m width. Various hydraulic regimes were created in the lower water race of the model with the help of the gates of the model itself. The current depth in the lower water race of the hydrosystem comprised 0.08 m. Current hydraulic characteristics seen to be involved in the production of routes of fish movement in a current included the longitudinal velocity component, the turbulence intensity, and the transverse gradient. The data obtained was used to develop a method for predicting the entrance of fish into the fish-passing structures.
