Fish transporter works like a flexible vacuum to help salmon get upstream

It may look like a water slide, but this is actually a fish transporter for salmon.

It works like a flexible vacuum, helping the fish get past potentially hazardous hydro plants and dams.

The elaborate device was developed by Whooshh Innovations to reduce the impact of hydro plants on rivers, which can often cause a dangerous barrier to fish that makes it impossible for them to get upstream and reproduce.

See how it works in the video above.
