Hadley Fish Lift

Shad and salmon in the 410-mile Connecticut river get a vital lift as they migrate upstream. A series of fishways at dam sites along the river provides passage over the dams.

At the Holyoke dam, fish actually are lifted with an elevator in a system developed in the 1950's.

At other dams, different systems are used. Each location presents unique engineering problems.
