CX-029934: Effects of white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) passage through a novel hydropower turbine and implications for long-term survival

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to University of California - Davis (UC Davis) to design and fabricate turbine runner blades that would reduce fish mortality rates. The runner blades would be tested along with a Restoration Hydro Turbine (RHT) created by Natel Energy, Inc. (Natel), a turbine intended to provide safe passage for fish, including the target fish species, White Sturgeon.
