  • Systems and Methods for Remote Placement of Electrified Fish Barriers
    Publication number: 20110174231
    Abstract: The inventive subject matter describes systems and methods for the remote placement of electrified fish barriers are illustrated and described herein. The inventive subject matter describes a floating electrical barrier that is responsive to the presence of detected fish. The inventive subject matter also describes a multiplicity of electrical barriers that are arranged to create an electrical field that entrains certain species of fish. The inventive subject matter also describes a movable barrier that is used to guide fish from location to location using electrical fields.
