This technical note presents a method of analyzing the flow in pool-orifice fishways by dividing it into vertical slot and submerged orifice flow regimes. For a pool-orifice-weir fishway, with flow through the orifice as well as over the weir, a method has been suggested for predicting the total flow rate in the fishway. Experimental observations are presented in support of these methods.
