Abstract

A light source 6 is located in the vicinity of the base 5 of the fish ladder 4 situated on the side of the dam (barrier) 3. Other light sources are located in the successive cells of the ladder 4, and the operation of the light sources may be intermittent. The fish arriving downstream 1 of the dam (barrier) 3 and desiring to swim up the watercourse will be attracted towards the base of the ladder 4, then towards the top of this ladder, thus easily reaching the upstream zone 2. The method is intended to facilitate the use by migrating fish of fish ladders fitted to dams (barriers).

Description

L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à faciliter le franchissement d'un barrage, implanté sur une rivière ou autre cours d'eau, par les poissons remontant ce cours d'eau. The invention relates to a method for facilitating the crossing of a dam, located on a river or other watercourse, by fish going up this watercourse.

On sait que, pour les nécessités de la reproduction, certaines espèces de poissons dits migrateurs (truites, saumons, etc ... ) sont amenées à remonter périodiquement le cours des rivières. Cette migration est bien sûr empêchée par les barrages, fréquemment implantés sur les rivières, qui constituent des obstacles souvent infranchissables par les poissons et qui, de ce fait, ont des conséquences néfastes sur la reproduction des espèces. We know that, for the needs of reproduction, certain species of so-called migratory fish (trout, salmon, etc ...) are brought to periodically go up the course of rivers. This migration is of course prevented by the dams, which are frequently installed on rivers, which constitute obstacles often impassable by fish and which, therefore, have harmful consequences on the reproduction of species.

On a proposé divers dispositifs conçus pour faciliter le franchissement des barrages vers l'amont par les poissons lors de leur migration. Ainsi, on a déjà associé à des barrages de grande hauteur de véritables ascenseurs pour poissons, c'est-à-dire des sortes de paniers liés à des systèmes d'élévation, mais de tels dispositifs sont d'un coût si élevé que leur emploi ne peut etre généralisé. On a aussi proposé de réaliser, sur le côté du barrage, des écluses à poissons mais il s'agit là d'un dispositif relativement compliqué et coûteux. Various devices have been proposed designed to facilitate the crossing of dams upstream by fish during their migration. Thus, high-rise dams have already been associated with real fish elevators, that is to say kinds of baskets linked to elevation systems, but such devices are so costly that their employment cannot be generalized. It has also been proposed to make fish locks on the side of the dam, but this is a relatively complicated and expensive device.

On a également proposé de réaliser, sur les côtés du barrage, des échelles à poissons c'est-à-dire des plans inclinés munis de cloisons en chicanes qui permettent aux poissons, par sauts successifs, de remonter le dénivelé pour passer en amont du barrage. Ces échelles à poissons, qui sont de conception et de réalisation simples, présentent toutefois l'inconvénient de n'être efficaces que lorsque les poissons s'y engagent, et il est souvent nécessaire de prévoir des moyens attirant les poissons vers la partie basse de ces échelles. A cet effet, on crée artificiellement, en aval du barrage, un courant dit "débit d'attrait" qui est dirigé vers le bas de l'échelle et qui guide les poissons jusqu'à cet endroit. Toutefois, la réalisation de tels débits d'attrait n'est pas sans poser des problèmes et de plus ceux-ci ne sont généralement pas efficaces sur une grande longueur. It has also been proposed to make fish ladders on the sides of the dam, that is to say inclined planes provided with baffled partitions which allow the fish, by successive jumps, to ascend the elevation to pass upstream of the barrage. These fish ladders, which are simple in design and construction, have the disadvantage of being effective only when the fish engage in it, and it is often necessary to provide means which attract the fish to the lower part of the fish. these scales. For this purpose, an artificially created current called "attraction flow" is created downstream of the dam which is directed down the ladder and which guides the fish to this place. However, achieving such attraction rates is not without its problems and moreover these are generally not effective over a long length.

Pour remédier à ces inconvénients et attirer avec efficacité les poissons migrateurs jusqu a la base de l'échelle équipant latéralement un barrage et conçue pour leur faire franchir ce barrage, l'invention propose un procédé qui allie une excellente efficacité à une grande simplicité et un faible coût. Selon l'invention, on dispose de façon appropriée à proximité immédiate de la base de l'échelle à poissons une source de lumière dont l'effet est d'attirer irrésistiblement les poissons vers cette échelle en donnant ainsi à cette dernière toute son efficacité. Selon les besoins et les conditions d'utilisation, ladite source lumineuse pourra ê-tre plus ou moins puissante et émettre une lumière d'une couleur particulière.Avantageusement ladite source lumineuse pourra être d'un fonctionnement intermittent et être complétée par une chaîne de sources également lumineuses réparties de bacs en bacs dans l'échelle à poissons. To overcome these drawbacks and effectively attract migratory fish to the base of the ladder laterally equipping a dam and designed to make them cross this dam, the invention proposes a method which combines excellent efficiency with great simplicity and low cost. According to the invention, there is appropriately located in the immediate vicinity of the base of the fish ladder a light source whose effect is to irresistibly attract the fish to this ladder, thereby giving the latter its full effectiveness. Depending on needs and conditions of use, said light source may be more or less powerful and emit light of a particular color. Advantageously said light source may be of intermittent operation and be supplemented by a chain of sources also luminous distributed from trays to trays in the fish ladder.

Pour bien faire comprendre le dispositif selon l'invention, on en décrira ci-après, à simple titre d'exemple sans caractère limitatif, une forme d'exécution en référence au dessin schématique annexé dont la figure unique est une vue perspective d'une échelle à poissons équipant latéralement un barrage et munie à sa base d'un dispositif lumineux selon l'invention. To clearly understand the device according to the invention, there will be described below, by way of example without limitation, an embodiment with reference to the accompanying schematic drawing whose single figure is a perspective view of a fish ladder laterally fitted with a dam and provided at its base with a light device according to the invention.

Au dessin on a représenté en 1 la partie aval d'une rivière, en 2 sa partie amont et en 3 un barrage implanté sur cette rivière. On a figuré en 4 une échelle à poissons disposée latéralement par rapport au barrage et constituée par une succession de bacs séparés entre eux par des parois disposées en chicanes. On a désigné en 5 la base de cette échelle vers laquelle il convient d'attirer les poissons pour qu'ils franchissent alors le barrage 3 en suivant l'échelle 4. In the drawing there is shown in 1 the downstream part of a river, in 2 its upstream part and in 3 a dam located on this river. There is shown in 4 a fish ladder arranged laterally with respect to the dam and constituted by a succession of tanks separated from each other by walls arranged in baffles. The base of this scale has been designated in 5 to which the fish should be attracted so that they then cross the dam 3 by following the scale 4.

On a représenté en 6 une source lumineuse qui est disposée au voisinage de la base 5 de l'échelle 4 et qui est constituée par une lampe convenablement isolée et reliée à un système d'alimentation non visible au dessin, le fonctionnement de cette source lumineuse pouvant être intermittent. Une chaîne de sources lumineuses, non représentée au dessin, est disposée dans les bacs successifs de l'échelle 4. 6 shows a light source which is arranged in the vicinity of the base 5 of scale 4 and which is constituted by a suitably insulated lamp and connected to a power supply system not visible in the drawing, the operation of this light source may be intermittent. A chain of light sources, not shown in the drawing, is placed in the successive trays of scale 4.

On comprend que les poissons désirant remonter la rivière et arrivant en 1 en aval du barrage, seront alors irrésistiblement attirés par la source lumineuse 6 et accèderont donc très facilement à la base de l'échelle 4. De là, sous l'effet de l'éclairement successif des sources lumineuses disposées en chaîne dans les bacs, les poissons seront attirés vers le haut de l'échelle et franchiront aisément le barrage 3.  It is understood that the fish wishing to go up the river and arriving in 1 downstream of the dam, will then be irresistibly attracted by the light source 6 and will therefore very easily access the base of the scale 4. From there, under the effect of the successive illumination of the light sources arranged in a chain in the tanks, the fish will be attracted to the top of the ladder and will easily cross the dam 3.
