Gabion fishway
| Output characterisation | |
| OUTPUT SENTENCE | Gabion fishways are necessary for ecological continuity especially for trouts and salmons. |
| OUTPUT TYPE | prototype |
| WATER TOPIC | Quality of natural systems |
| KEYWORDS | Gabion fishway |
| KEYWORDS TYPE | Ecological continuity |
| MARKET NEED TAILORED | This prototype will make easier the implementation of fishways. Instead of heavy civil engineer works, the use of gabions will facilitate the job. |
| OUTPUT DESCRIPTION | Fishways are used to bypass dams and other devices for migratory species. Habitually, necessary infrastructures need heavy works. With gabions, we have an easy use material to implement fishways. |
| STATE OF DEVELOPMENT | 1 gabion fishway has been installed in the second semester of 2012. |
| INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES | Easy use material to implement fishways instead of heavy civil engineer works. |
| INTELLECTUAL/INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS | No information |
| TRANSFERABILITY | This technology can be used all over Europe in small rivers and creeks. |
| POTENTIAL USERS/CLIENTS | River managers, fishermen associations,... |
| Estimation of risks | |
