Please remove picture of hydropower plant from juvenile fish page!!!
I am working now for 18 years as a fish biologist in the Netherlands. I am a member of the expert fish group of the International Commission for Protection of the River Rhine, I am working on a PhD on European sturgeon at the Wageningen University and I have written scientific papers on fish migration and juvenile fish like Atlantic Salmon smolts. It came to my attention that at the juvenile fish page on Wikipedia there is a picture of a hydroelectric dam and a fish pass-system. In my opionion this picture represents (a) not a good solution to aid fish migration, because in this situation still many fish will not find the entrance, thus will not be able to pass this obstruction that lies between spawning areas upstream and area for wintering and foraging downstream. Furthermore, a hydropower plant uses water from the main stream and even with a dirt=rack installed in front of this plant, even if it has a small mash size, still many juvenile fish will pass that dirt rack and end up in the propellers of this hydropower plant.The result is impignement and fish being shredded. Which I can proof to you from numerous examples. (b) Moreover, the subject of this wikipedia page is juvenile fish, not hydropower plants. I find it distastefull to use this picture, suggerating that this fishpass and that is is helpful. Yes, we need green energy, but there are many people that have serious doubts when it comes to hydropower plants and the relation with juvenile migratiory fish. Be it potamodromous or diadromous species, hydropower blocks fish migration routes, these facilities not only postpone migrations for fish that do need to pass in order to fulfill their life cycle, they also attrackt predatory fish and birds (and fishermen) that extrapolates the problem.There are many endangered species (red list species) like European eel,Atlantic salmon, European sturgeon, Allis shad, houting, Sea lampreys, etc. etc. that see their migration routes obstructed by hydropower plants.In the near future more of such plants will be build, many more rivers will be lost for migratory fish. Consider for example the three gorges dam in the Yangtze river. This caused the Chinese sturgeon to become extinct. Another example: in my country we invested 70 million euro's to improve fish migration. For example, the Dutch government spend 10 million euro's to install a fish ladder at 1 hydropower plant in the River Meuse at Borgharen. We know from sampling and monitoring with Atlantic salmon smolts and the Nedap Trail system that 80%! of these juvenile Atlantic salmon do not succeed to pass this one location, although there is this fish ladder s. The reason being that salmon smolts follow the main current downstream, not the side channel created by the fish ladder and they do end up being shreaded in this dropower plant. If you wish I can show you pictures, movies and many other examples of cases where fish ladders at hydropower plants do not work to aid fish migration. Therefore, I urgently request that you remove this drawing of a hydropower plant ad a fish ladder. If you don't, i even consider a case. This really irritates me! I have logged in and removed this picture and it is restored time and again... If you wish to discuss this with me. Give me an e-mail at niels.breve@wur.nl !! I am truely not satisfied until this picture is removed from this page! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niels Breve (talk • contribs) 08:23, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Help with Page
Thank you for taking the time to provide specific advice about how to improve my early edits. As a relatively new user, this advice was both helpful and appreciated. Would it be possible for you to help with another issue? MrOllie has put a maintenance template at the top of 'Robert T. Lackey' stating that one of the contributors to this page may have a close connection to the subject. I may have a conflict of interest because I am very familiar with Dr. Lackey's (along with the work of many of the other individuals listed under 'Fisheries Science'). The maintenance template advises that the page should be checked by an independent source to assure that it has a neutral point of view. I have reviewed the page carefully and it is neutral, balanced, and accurate in my opinion. Given that you have contributed to the others pages in this section, would you be willing to review the page to determine if it meets the necessary Wikipedia requirements? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Togue1971 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
