A Borland fish lift has been installed to allow salmon to bypass these falls, which are impassable under virtually all conditions, although it is known that a very small number of fish can make their way up in exceptionally high water. There have been reports of fresh water pearl mussels in the Lochay in the past, which are dependant on migratory fish to complete their life cycle. It is beleived that while the fish lift now allows more fish to ascend, it has in fact made natural passage more difficult/ almost impossible.
