How do ladder traps work




















They climb the ladder to a loading system where they wait in pools or tanks before transfer into specialized tankers or barges. These vehicles release the salmon into the river on the other side of the dam. All trap and haul facilities are different. The diagram below gives an example of an operation using specialized tanker trucks.

Endangered Species Conservation Adult Upstream Passage on the West Coast The most common way for adult fish to get past a dam is to use a fish ladder, a water-filled structure that allows fish to pass up and over in a series of steps.

An example being this case in April when two gamekeepers Leslie Morris and Michael Clare from the Bradenham Hill Pheasant Shoot, West Wycombe, Berkshire were convicted of killing a buzzard they found in their crow multi-trap.

Many Multi-traps can be found in Scotland. Scottish law requires corroboration in terms of evidence. Note the time and a six figure grid reference of the site. Many animals are not killed immediately; they bleed to death, suffocate or die of thirst. Stone-crush traps were once widespread in Europe, but today they are only found in the French central massif and in the Apennines of northern Italy.

France has a special derogation allowing the use of these brutal traps Horsehair snares were also used in the Stone Age. The trapping method is as simple as it is insidious: horse hair or a nylon thread is used to make a wafer-thin loop, which is positioned next to fresh rowan berries. If a bird attempts to take the bait, the noose falls around its neck and the startled bird tries to fly away.

The loop closes and strangles the bird - the term "throttling" comes from this hunting method, which is mainly used to catch thrushes. However, in reality countless tits, robins and finches also get killed in these treacherous devices. This kind of trap the so-called "Dohnenstiege" could still be found in Germany just years ago, but today they are only found in central Italy, Sardinia and - with a legal derogation for the preservation of traditions - in the Ardennes of northern France.

Bow traps are amongst the most brutal animal traps in the world. A small stick and a string keep the metal-made bow - traditionally made of a hazelnut rod - under tension. The birds are attracted by the berries and duped to settle on the horizontal stick. When they touch it, the bow rushes apart. In a fraction of a second, the birds hang upside down with their legs completely crushed in the snare. This way, they stay fresh until the trapper arrives, sometimes they spend hours in agony, even in the warm autumn sun.

This trap, once common everywhere in Europe, is mainly used to target robins in the small Italian province of Brescia - located in the Southern Alps in Italy. The use of glue to catch birds has been known since the Stone Age. To this day, glue rods known as limesticks are the most common method used in Europe for bird catching. It consists of a stick or branch coated with a strong adhesive substance. Once the horizontal traps are placed in a bush, birds identify them as a suitable perch and land on them.

They are instantly stuck and become even more ensnared as they try to free themselves. The glue is traditionally made from the flesh of mistletoe or plum juice, although, synthetic adhesives are also used.
