Louvers at the Tracy Fish Facility
The Tracy Fish Facility was designed to minimize fish mortality by removing fish from water that subsequently is pumped from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to southern Central Valley and urban areas. A series of louvers diverts fish from pump intakes into tanks where they are held prior to being trucked back to waters further north in the Delta. Impacted species include the endangered Delta smelt and juveniles from several endanged Chinook salmon runs.
