New way to save salmon in the delta
San Francisco Chronicle
For the past four weeks more than 900 tagged juvenile chinook salmon have been released about 15 miles south on the San Joaquin. As the fish encountered the light flashes bubbles and noise – a constant hum from high to low frequencies – 79 percent of them angled north and remained on the San Joaquin. That’s an important number because the San Joaquin River has proved far less harmful to the fish than ld River where they are more vulnerable to predators water diversions for farmland and particularly the giant pumps near Tracy that send water from the southern Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to 25 million Californians. Researchers said the equipment does no physical harm to salmon or other species and has been used successfully in projects in the Great Lakes and in England. Still UC Davis wildlife expert Peter Moyle said nonphysical barriers are best used over short periods because the fish may become desensitized to the light and sound show over time. With the project completed the equipment will be removed by the end of the month. fficials hope to declare the experiment a success and continue the project next spring.
