AHERC on the River

On Thursday, ACEP Research Engineers, Jack Schmid and Jeremy Kasper will visit the AHERC Tanana River Test Site in Nenana along with Alaska Department of Fish and Game Fisheries Biologist Carl Pfisterer. The team will be conducting a side-by-side comparison between two different sonar systems: the Teledyne Blueview (R) system and a DIDSON. CarlPfisterer is a sonar expert with ADFG and the ACEP researchers hope to learn more about the DIDSON from him and compare it to the existing Blueview system.

ACEP is also working with ADFG to determine the suitability of either of these systems for simultaneously monitoring river debris as well as endemic fish species. Visit the AHERC homepage for more information about our hydrokinetic research.
