Find your screen: Australian Fish Screen Suppliers

Get the right solution for your diversion

When investing in a new screen it’s important to find one that will suit your water volumes, diversion schedule, debris loads and local fish.

A wide variety of screen types have been developed for use overseas and some are being manufactured locally to suit Australian conditions. However, just because a screen can supplied to fit your intake, does not mean it will work efficiently and effectively to stop debris and protect fish.
Australian fisheries researchers have evaluated the performance of different screens to develop specifications for screen design. Ask your supplier how their screens meet these specs.
