Obstacles to fish passage on the River Trent
|
||
|---|---|---|
 |
Cromwell, the first weir situated to the north of Newark
on Trent. Has a fish pass which while it looks impressive is probably
not working due to faulty design, and is inadequte in that it is not suitable
for all species which require passage. A fish counter will be installed
on this Fish pass in the Summer of 2008 so that a true assessment can
be made of this fish pass. |

 |
Averham, South of Newark on Trent. Salmon can pass this weir in times of high water, needs a fish pass to accommodate all species. | |
 |
Fiskerton weir at Hazelford is a mighty 7 step weir which stops all fish movement except in flood conditions(right-yes there is a weir under there). Fish ladder on this weir would enable fish to get access to the rest of the River Trent and into the lower reaches of the River Derwent and River Dove, |  |

 |
Holme Sluices totally impassable until the construction of the canoe slalom course(right) at Holme Pierrepont. Notice the top of the Sluices in the middle rear of the picture. |  |
 |
Beeston weir has a hydro electric generating facility and a new fish pass. |  |
 |
Thrumpton | |
 |
Sawley last of the navigation weirs. You may have seen this weir as you travel south on the M1 motorway after junction 25. | |

King's Mill last weir before the confluence of the River Dove | |
