FISH PASSAGE ASSESSMENT
FISH PASSAGE ASSESSMENT

ATET-TECH is an environmental consulting company which is focused on assessing whether fish monitoring is actually required at a facility to meet regulatory requirements and if required, monitor, evaluate and develop fish passage technologies used either alone or combined as integrated systems. This also includes installation of specific technologies for fish management applications as well as assessing their performance. Technologies have included fine mesh screens, coarse screens, louvers, barrier nets, fish pumps and fish return systems, and behaviour systems such as light and sound.

FISH PASSAGE TECHNOLOGIES
FISH PASSAGE TECHNOLOGIES

LGD (Light Guidance Device) technology was developed by ATET-Tech to address species specific responses of fish for attraction/repulsion in fish management applications. Applications include fish diversion at hydro-electric and thermal facilities, control of invasive species, aquaculture and commercial fishing. There is no other lights available which has flexibility to address species specific responses (to frequency and light intensity) with user controlled software. Mercury vapor and sodium light do not have this flexibility.

Fish conservation using cost-effective technologies

ATET-Tech is an environmental consulting company focused on fish conservation at industrial water intakes including once-though-cooling, hydroelectric, irrigation, pulp & paper, and manufacturing.  ATET-Tech has experience evaluating different fish protection systems such as barrier nets, acoustic and light systems, fine mesh screens, fish pumps and fish return systems especially related to cost-effectiveness, biofouling, and strengths/weaknesses in mitigation control. ATET has also developed a new underwater LED device (Light Guidance Device, LGD) for fish management applications which has been designed to work alone or integrated with different fish conservation methods.

ATET announces partnership with European company with Electric Fish Fence Technology

ATET has joined forces with a European Company to bring their unique electric fish fence technology to Canada and the US for fish management applications at hydro facilities and other water users. This technology has been tested in Germany and Austria for several fish species. Details of the electric fish fence are shown in the attachment. This technology has application used alone or integrated with our light guidance device.

Chinook Salmon Publication (2019)

Recent publication in Hydrobiologia on responses of juvenile chinook salmon to our LGD. Potential to attract fish to a bypass or fish ladder. ATET looking for site for field evaluation. 

Fine Mesh Screen Publication

Dr. Patrick has recently published a paper entitled "Size distribution of larvae entrained and the role of fine mesh screening in excluding larvae at an operating power plant" at Lake and Reservoir Management (https://doi.org/10.1080/10402381.2018.1436625)

ATET opens a new branch as ATET-TECH US

We are glad to report that we have created  ATET-TECH US as we have recently incorporated in the state of Florida to conduct fish conservation business in the US for all water users. 

Latest Hydro Review article

An excellent summary of research activities of the LGD technology has recently been published in the June 2018 Hydro Review magazine (pg- 70-77). It includes results from a variety of species including  sturgeon and American eels.
