Pretty cool read.

If successful, it would be interesting to see how much new habitat could be opened up at dams "that don't currently allow for fish passage"

I'm a little confused by the technology though…..

When wet, the sleeve seals around the fish, so very little pressure is actually required to move them.


When I read the first part of the article, I picture the hose sucking up water & fish w/o the hose collapsing. The quote above makes it sound like the hose does collapse around the fish almost like a vacuum sealer. If so, wouldn't that distress the gills and slime coat?

Not knocking it, just trying to understand it. I'll be curious to see how this plays out in the years ahead.
