Contents <br />Methods <br />Holding and Acclimation <br />Fish specimens used for the sleeve valve passage experiments were transported from the <br />hatchery to the test site one week prior to use to allow sufficient acclimation time to existing <br />water quality and environmental conditions. A temporary aquaculture facility was built next to <br />the Ridges Basin Dam control house to hold the test fish and embryos. At this location, holding <br />tanks and incubation trays were supplied with water from a drainage outlet pipe near the terminal <br />end of the reservoir emergency discharge pipe, which adjoins to the sleeve valve discharge pipe. <br />This set -up normalized water quality characteristics between the aquaculture holding facility and <br />the water used for the experiments. A multi -probe Hydrolab Datasonde 5 was placed into one of <br />the holding tanks to monitor water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, salinity, and <br />turbidity throughout each experimental period. Key biological water quality data was collected <br />to ensure that test specimens were within safe environmental limits and to document basic <br />biological water quality parameters. <br />Fish holding tanks for the temporary aquaculture facility consisted of four 210 gal round <br />polyethylene blue tanks (figure 5) and twenty -seven 55 gal round gray Rubbermaid Brute® <br />plastic trash cans (figure 6). The trash cans were divided into three rows, two rows with 10 tanks <br />and one row with 7 tanks and two 8 -tray vertical trout incubation systems. <br />Figure 6. Twenty -seven 55 gal round gray Rubbermaid Brute® plastic trash cans used as <br />holding tanks for test fish. <br />Page 16 <br />
