Description

The RETERO project develops modern and scientific methods with the aim of significantly reducing and, in the long term, completely replacing animal experiments for assessing the risk of harming fish while passing through turbines. Initial ethohydraulic investigations of fish behavior of turbine inlet accelerated flows were done at the Hubert-Engels-Laboratory of the Technische Universität Dresden, Germany in cooperation with the , to observe their reactions in a controlled environment. These findings provided the project's collaborative partners with a sound basis for e. g. developing an autonomous sensor probe, risk assessments or developing software-based damage prediction models.
