8. cks and FBTCS control console INTRODUCTION Electric fish barriers have been employed for many years to guide migrating fish away from protected waterways or water hazards By charging the water with enough electricity to stun the fish up stream migrations can be easily blocked since a stunned fish cannot swim and will be swept back down stream by the water flow Down stream migrations are more difficult to block since the electric field must produce enough irritation to keep the fish out of the barrier area without actually stunning them In both cases the way the electric current is applied to the water must be tightly controlled so as to produce the desired response from the fish without injuring them Most early methods of charging the water used crude switching of AC line power AC alternating current has been found to be much more damaging to fish than DC direct current so rectified AC or pulsed DC was tried However because of the rounded shape of this type of waveform more power had to be applied to the water to produce the stunning effect and little irritation could be felt by the fish before they were overcome by the charge resulting in poor performance and damage to sensitive fish species As concern grew over protecting endangered fish it became obvious that better methods for applying the electric charge to the water were needed To date the most effective waveforms seem to be narrow DC pulses with quick rising edges and d
