This data was collected over the course of two years, from 2016 to 2017, within the flume facility laboratory. The research project that was conducted evaluated different fishway entrance designs and their effect on the passage of adult American shad (Alosa sapidissima). The data consists of 15 columns and 1925 rows. Each row entry pertains to the performance of a single fish during one of 64 trials over the two year period. Columns give information on the treatment condition (e.g. entrance gate designs, headwater/tailwater elevations), water quality (e.g., water temperature, turbidity), fish specific information (e.g. sex, fork length, handling), passage time, and the censor value used in the statistical analysis.
