	The Fair Lawn/Paterson Fish Weir
		The Fair Lawn/Paterson fish weir (New Jersey State Museum #28-Be-176/28-Pa-147) spans the Passaic River approximately 180 meters (200 yards) north of the Fair Lawn Avenue bridge, straddling the Borough of Fair Lawn (in Bergen County) and the City of Paterson (in Passaic County), in New Jersey (Figure 1).
		Riverine fish weirs in eastern North America are generally associated with the exploitation of anadromous and catadromous fish (lutins 1982).
		Weir use implies seasonal settlement of at least a portion of the community in the vicinity of the structure in order to attend to such tasks as weir set-up, structural maintenance, and processing of the catch.

	Fishing weir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Remains of an ancient stone fishing weir in the tidal Menai Strait in Wales.
		V-shaped weirs with circular formations to hold the fish during high tides are used on the Bay of Fundy to fish herring, which follow the flow of water.
		Similar V-shaped weirs are also used in British Columbia to corral salmon to the end of the "V" during the changing of the tides.

	Fish weirs
		Fish are guided on the ebb by the stake and wattle walls, or 'leader hedges' (which could be of great length) towards the apex of the 'v' where they were finally trapped in a woven basket or a net.
		Stone fish weirs were often massive constructions requiring the resources of the major landowners to build, but their upkeep and certainly their operations were leased out to groups or single tenants.
		Weir L is the least substantial of the weirs, and the only one that does not incorporate part of a scar.

	Quoddy Loop--Fish Weir Illustration
		The weir is built close to shore, where the shoreline and shoals perform that function.
		As the weir accumulates herring, the fisherman may periodically check to see how many fish have been caught, in order to determine if it is time to harvest the catch.
		The rope is drawn into a seine boat, pulling the bottom edge of the seine together into the center of the weir, enclosing the herring in the seine.

	Salmon Fish Counters in Ireland; Weirs
		The maximum length of a single weir section is strongly dependant on the conductivity of the water.
		The weirs crest heights are staggered to different levels to facilitate counting across the entire river under a range of different flow conditions.
		The weir sections are of pre-fabricated fiberglass with electrodes embedded into the base of the weir.

	Captions for Images of Baures Fish Weirs: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Traces of other fish weirs can be seen in the upper left of the image.
		The man holds a traditional basket fish trap and pole holding hundreds of buchere (an armored catfish) The buchere is important food for the Baure today and is common in the artificial ponds associated with the fish weirs of Baures (the painting is by Bolivian artist Melchor Maria Mercado, mid 1850s).
		The leaves provide thatch for roofing and basketry, the trunk is used for construction material, the heart is eaten, and the fruits (rich in protein and starch) are an important food for humans.

	Weir Page
		Once inside the weir, the fish swim in a figure eight pattern always being directed away from the mouth by the curve of the netting (or twine).
		A vacuum hose on a pumper, a boat equipped with a vacuum pump, is used to suck the fish through a structure that separates the scales from the fish (the hopper) and transfers the fish to a herring carrier.
		Once the herring are located the procedure is similar to the weir, a seine is set around the fish, the bottom is "pursed", the fish are dried up, and pumped through the hopper to a fish hold, either on the seiner or on a herring carrier.

	Sawtooth Fish Hatchery
		Sawtooth Fish Hatchery weir is approximately 400 river miles from Lower Granite Dam and 900 river miles from the mouth of the Columbia River.
		Sawtooth Fish Hatchery is one of 11 Lower Snake River Fish and Wildlife Compensation Plan hatcheries, located in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, and was constructed by the U. Army Corps of Engineers in 1984.
		In 1934, the dam was breached and unimpeded fish passage was restored.

		A fish pass designed to surmount a height of 16 m according to Godoy (1985) and 13.5 m according to Castello (1982) was installed in the Pirajú dam, on the Paranapanema river in Sao Paolo State.
		A fish pass was built in an irrigation dam on the Guanare river, which is part of the Orinoco river basin, in Portuguese State.
		The exit from the uper chamber is adjacent to the weir.

	Prehistoric Fishweirs in Eastern North America
		Stake weirs are generally constructed of similar- sized poles, as opposed to `brush,' which is interpreted herein as the placement of piles of branches without regard to size and length (this latter method is sometimes employed as part of a weir, as will be seen later).
		The weir is in the shape of a "V", with a gap at the apex.
		Anadromous fish are those which migrate upstream from the sea to spawn; conversely, catadromous fish (primarily eels) are those which swim from lakes, rivers and streams out to sea to spawn (McClane 1978).

	Precolumbian Fish Farming in the Amazon
		I immediately realized that these matched the description of fish weirs that are reported in the ethnographic and historical literature on Amazonian peoples.
		Fish weirs are fences made of wood, brush, basketry, or stones with small openings that extend across bodies of water.
		While most fish weirs are simple ephemeral structures crossing a river or shallow lake, those of Baures are permanent earthen features covering more than 500 square kilometers.

	Weirs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The weir was constructed of hardware cloth (wire mesh) on a v-shaped frame (the point of the "v" is upstream) which directed fish and sea lampreys toward a trap.
		Spawning fish and sea lampreys were captured in an wire mesh trap with the sea lampreys being destroyed and other fish passed upstream.
		Electrical weirs were hampered by the loss of power or floods which either destroyed the weir or allowed sea lampreys to pass around the weir.

	Wrangell St. Elias: Tanada Fish Weir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Tanada Creek is a third-order perennial stream and a tributary to the Upper Copper River in southeast interior Alaska.
		A weir is a barrier set across a stream that blocks the passage of fish but allows water to pass.
		The weir panels are made of evenly spaced tubular pickets extending across the entire channel.

	Fish ladder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fishways, most commonly referred to as fish ladders but also known as fish passes, are structures placed on or around human-made barriers (such as dams and weirs) to assist the natural migration of diadromous fishes.
		The velocity of water falling over the steps has to be great enough to attract the fish to the ladder, but it cannot be so great as to wash fish back downstream or to exhaust them to the point where they cannot continue their journey upriver.
		In 1852–54, the Ballisodare Fish Pass was constructed in County Sligo, Ireland, to draw salmon into a river that previously did not support a fishery.

	Fish Weir - Native American Artifact - Exploring the Out-of-Doors
		This fish weir built by local Native Americans was reported as “A Pigg River Fish Weir” on several of my CD-ROM presentations.
		This type of weir is generally defined as a low dam built in a river to back up or divert water through a prepared opening for catching fish.
		Since I photographed this weir, many changes have taken place in the rock arrangement; that is, several groups of outdoor, nearby campers have enjoyed remodeling the dam, resulting in structural disaster — but still recognizable.

	Fisheries work around region.
		The new electric weir and a new screw trap to capture downstream migrants were installed this spring.
		After a week of running the electro fishing boat each night and capturing hundreds of catfish they found survival and growth rates were good, most of the fish congregated along the west end and no young catfish turned up.
		Fisheries technicians and biologists are working to estimate the numbers of fish eating birds nesting on the reservoir and the kind and amount of fish they eat while raising their young.

	The Fresh Water Fishing Place
		Personally, I think that it describes a good fishing spot physically "in the middle" of the easily worked soil of the floodplain where Native people gathered for those "three seasons of semi-sedentary occupation" that seems to be the prevailing view of riverine Native American Villages of that time period in Southern New England.
		He was kind enough to give me a booklet entitled "Stone Weirs" when we later met again, once more in Washington, CT. It seems that the histories regarding the "Place- Name Origins" of some of the many "Fishing Places" in the Eastern Woodlands, contain references to Fish Weirs.
		There is no doubt that, in the early times, these fish weirs were numerous for miles along the river, as far as the shad and other fish went to their spawning grounds.

	Snake River Currents
		That device is a giant fish weir, a structure to funnel fish into a small, defined channel.
		Fish advocates, though, think the weir is a waste of time and money.
		The goal of the weir is to ease fish over a spillway instead of shooting them through its opened gates, where water pressure and dissolved gases act on the fish like the "bends" act on divers.

		The purpose of 322 CMR 4..02 is to manage net fishing participation in the inshore waters of the Commonwealth on a year-round basis with a particular focus on winter flounder and the spawning season.
		Unlike mobile fishing gear that is used in active pursuit of fish or fixed gear such as fish pots or gillnets that can be moved to follow migrating fish, weirs -- authorized by M.G.L. c.
		Since fish tend to follow the weir's leader to the head (heart and bowl), they become concentrated and attract other fishermen to the weir where fish are available and more easily caught.

		The freshwater weir should be made ahead of time and placed where the river flows from a small lake through a narrow dam (see photo).
		Many of the fish will be swept up into the river basin, over the pointed sticks of the weir.
		You will have to point out that there were no sophisticated fishing poles, reels, sonar, fish-callers, etc! Nets, spears, and bone hooks were the implements available, and canoes were unstable for ocean trips.

	OAS -- Oklahoma's Past
		Archeologists realized they had identified an archeological feature unique in Oklahoma prehistory, a fish weir (trap), before it was destroyed by natural processes.
		Archeologists wanted to learn if the weir was associated with the archeological materials found in the upper part of the terrace.
		The wood from inside the arms of the weir dated to 2990+80 B.P. (about1100 B.C.), but the charred nut hulls dated much later, 2380+80 B.P. (about 400 B.C.) showing the use of the weir was far earlier than the better known occupation of the site.

		fish are the same, so not all fish will be able to pass through using these ladders.
		Like the pool-weir, but is usually narrower, and allows fish to advance up stream without having to jump over anything.
		Its just like the name says, its an elevator that transports fish from one side (the bottom of the river/stream) to the other (the top of the river/stream).

		From the fish weir, the trail heads upstream for about 3 miles, with plenty of river access along the way.
		Just above and below the weir are amazing pools where the fish hold for a while as they aclimate to the fresh water.
		Although we caught no fish on Saturday, just watching the bald eagles (as common as pigeons up there) and working the river was great for the soul.

		The area to the north of the Salt Lake Weir is not open to boating or foot access.
		The marsh behind the weir is an excellent hatchery- nice reds and founder- I usually hit a slam at the weir.
		You can go up to weir and fish off the weir bank, but you can't continue any further (ie, up the channel or its bank) by boat or foot.
