This is a newly hatched two-lined salamander (Eurycea bislineata). Two-lined salamanders are a stream-adapted species, which means that the larvae are fully aquatic and live in streams.

Northern dusky salamanders (Desmognathus fuscus) are a species of stream-adapted salamander found throughout the northeastern US. The larvae are aquatic and live in streams, while the adults live on streambanks. This individual is a juvenile, and it has only recently lost its gills and left the water.

Two 4-foot wide baffled chute fishways are tested side-by-side in the Conte Lab's Fish Passage Complex's east flume. The fish ladders are instrumented with passive integrated transponder antennas/reader. River herring, collected from the mouth of the Chicopee River are tested to assess entry and ascent rates.
