Fishtek has been heavily involved in the design and fabrication of low-cost baffles, which have been installed on two sites in the midlands. Fabricated from recycled plastic, these are a low-cost solution to improving fish passage on weirs with a gentle sloping face, such as gauging weirs. The final baffles are now in place and there is a project planned for spring of 2013 to investigate how successful the low-cost baffles are at improving fish passage over gauging weirs.
