Whereas adult salmon swimming upstream through a ladder visibly illustrates the challenge a dam presents to fish returning home to spawn, the downstream passage of juveniles swimming toward the ocean is often a greater, although more unseen, challenge to their survival. Decades of work have identified many factors that affect fish behavior near dams, but why downstream passage structures may work well at one dam but not at another is poorly understood.
