Welcome to Fishladder Solutions, 

an innovative and dynamic New Zealand company which delivers cost-effective and environmentally friendly answers to your compliance problems around poorly designed culverts, erosion issues and unique water features to compliment your garden landscaping. We specialise in Fish Ladders and Fish Way Baffles utilising a patented New Zealand designed and built system.

Dr Mick Kearney, a marine biologist from Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, whose research specialises in the management of fresh water fisheries has helped in assessing the effectiveness of the fish passages developed by Fishladder Solutions. Dr Kearney states:

"The results speak for themselves, prior to the installation of the fish ladders only a handful of fish were counted in the stream above the culvert, however, once the fish ladder was installed, the number of fish climbing the ladder and migrating into habitat above the culvert barrier is nothing short of astounding. Thousands of Freshwater shrimp, hundreds of whitebait and juvenile eels, and tens of common bully were counted."

These results show that the installation of fish passages are a very effective method of reestablishing upstream and downstream migratory pathways for our freshwater fish species.
