G Force Study (2015)
Will fish experience any extraordinary, potentially harmful, G forces when traveling through the Whooshh fish transport system?
No. The instantaneous G forces experienced by fish going through the Whooshh system are overall quite low. They are less than half the G force a fish experiences when falling back into the water either onto its belly or backwards from a 36 inches height, which is a scenario typically experienced when fish are discharged from a truck in a trap and haul operation or down and out a fish slide where the fish do not re-enter the water head first.
