‘Standardised Monitoring of Fish Pass Solutions … a progress report’
Jon Hateley Environment Agency, UK … currently Project Leader of CEN fish pass monitoring standard
Why standardise? Comparability and Transferability
Standardisation in European Inland Fisheries Fish Monitoring Standards
Developments in CEN Fish Pass Monitoring Standard
Standardisation FAQ’s (by Playmobil® )
Contents:
ISO/AWI TR 19234 Hydrometry -- Low cost baffle solution to aid fish passage at crump weir flow measurement structures
ISO 26906:2009 Hydrometry -- Fishpasses at flow measurement structures
Functionality
Comparability
Water Framework Directive
• Fish sampling CEN standards: 2006. EN 14 962 “Water Quality—Guidance on the Scope and
Selection of Fish Sampling Methods”. 2003. EN 14 011 “Water Quality—Sampling of Fish with Electricity”. 2015. EN 14 757 “Water Quality—Sampling of Fish with Multimesh
Gillnets”. 2014. EN 15 910 “Water Quality – Guidance on the estimation of fish
abundance with mobile hydroacoustic methods”.
Comparability Same units, metrics, methodologies,
analyses ... = meaningful comparisons = transferability = value for money
Fish Pass Monitoring Standard
Emma’s data review: Can’t compare results of studies done: Different definitions Different methods Different metadata recorded (e.g. fish pass
parameters)
1. Comparability Problems WHY?!
• 120 passes in 5 years ... £23m • £5k to £30k / year to monitor • <5% monitored
Fish Pass Monitoring Standard
2. Expense!
Bigger data pool
Good quality, comparable data
Identification of strengths and weaknesses in the designs
Improved fish passes!
CEN standardised studies

Fish Pass Monitoring Standard
FAQs: • Do I have to use the standard?
• Can we change the standard?
• Can we change the standard?
Generally ‘Advisory / Guidance’. But some standards and countries….
Yes. Reviewed every 3-5 years
• What about ‘Brexit’? BSi say ‘Business as usual’
Fish Pass Monitoring Standard
FAQs: • What’s the difference between a CEN standard and a technical guide?
• Do CEN standards ‘trump’ or replace existing national standards?
• Can we change the standard?
Full standard: Detailed … systems and materials … comparisons
Technical Guide: Not relevant to all … ‘young tech’… further best practice needed
Replace existing standards in Member States => Tact and Consensus!
Both ‘full consensus’ documents … level of detail differs;
Fish Pass Monitoring Standard
FAQs:
• Any further fish-based standardisation projects?
• Can we change the standard?
?
• Can I see or contribute to the draft? Group members to edit … then to CEN. Member State Technical Experts after May 2017
