Hydraulic Data Chapter 6: this file contains the data collected when the laboratory hydraulic experiments were undertaken which are documented in Chapter 6.
Fish Experimental Data Chapter 6: this file contains the data collected when the laboratory fish experiments were undertaken which are documented in Chapter 6.
Fish Swimming Videos: Videos of all the fish that passed during fish passage experiments outlined in Chapter 6.
Zigzag Swimming Behaviour Example: A video of fish swimming behaviour characteristed in Chapter 6 in a 'zigzag' motion through the fish pass.  
Localised Wall Association Swimming Behaviour Example: A video of fish swimming behaviour characteristed in Chapter 6 when swimming next to the flume wall through the fish pass.   
Lateral Traverse Swimming Behaviour Example: A video of fish swimming behaviour characteristed in Chapter 6 when a fish traversed laterally through the fish pass.
