A flow spoiler designed for attachment to the fish‐catching rails of large water‐intake screens was previously reported as being successful in reducing injuries to fish during the capture process. That spoiler and rail configuration failed to function as intended when applied to screens equipped with superfine screencloth. The desired fluid dynamical properties of the spoiler were restored by a change in the spoilerˈs geometry.
