Characteristic fish movement behaviour, waterway types, and structure configurations for Australian waterways require adaptation, design and development of fish passage devices suited particularly to these conditions. James Cook University's College of Science and Engineering is actively developing these as follows:

design objectives and multipurpose requirements
design and configuration of fish passage devices
fishway suitability and performance evaluation
fishway component design and fabrication

Offset baffle fishway for box culverts and pipe culverts

Cross slope offset baffle fishway for culverts and channels

Corner “EL” baffle fishway for box culverts

Corner “Q u ad” baffle fishway for pipe culverts

Block ramp fishway for culverts, channels and grade control
