Abstract:
A method and system for moving killed fish in a pipe or pipeline, comprising water and supply of pressurized air or water pressure or both to create zones having different properties in the pipe or pipeline to form a controllable water flow for propulsion of and controlled retention time of fish in the pipe or pipeline.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of moving fish ( 200 ) in a pipe or pipeline ( 10 ), comprising the steps of:\n (a) providing a pipe or pipeline ( 10 ) with water to a desired water level via a water supply system ( 20 - 23 ), (b) supplying fish ( 200 ) to the pipe or pipeline ( 10 ) at a closed end ( 11 ) of the pipe or pipeline ( 10 ), and (c) supplying pressurized air, pressurized water or both at supply points ( 30 ) to form air or water partitions to create separate zones (A-D) having different properties with respect to direction and magnitude of water flow in the pipe or pipeline ( 10 ), thereby forming a controllable water flow in the zones (A-D) for propulsion of the fish ( 200 ) in the pipe or pipeline ( 10 ) and controlling a retention duration of the fish ( 200 ) in the pipe or pipeline ( 10 ).
