What is the feasibility of having salmon voluntarily enter the Whooshh system without the assistance of human handling?

Yes, it is feasible, adult salmon ascended a steep pass and descended down a flume. They entered into a V notch head first and then glided into the Whooshh tube entry and passed safely and successfully through the WFTS into the holding tank.
