Video: Test of Juvenile Alewife Passage Through the RHT
In September 2021, Natel worked with Kleinschmidt Associates on a through-turbine test of juvenile alewife, a migratory species of alosine, similar to American shad and blueback herring.

Results indicate negligible turbine-related mortality; publication of a full report is pending.
