Facilities for the fish pass, often also referred to as fish ladders, fish passages or bypass channels, are artificial watercourses. These fish ladders allow fish and other aquatic life to migrate upriver to their spawning grounds and also forage for food. The technology of the fish pass is continuously developing. Examples of new types of construction are fish lifts or fish ascent screws.
