About
Fish Tube refers to a viral video of a "salmon cannon" developed by Whooshh that helps migrating salmon swim past dams in seconds rather than days. Once the video began spreading on Twitter, users joked about the strange contraption.
Origin
On August 7th, 2019, Cheddar[1] tweeted a video of a "salmon cannon" in action. The "salmon cannon" is a product created by Whooshh,[2] an environmentalist company which develops products to aid in fish passage. According to their website, they "are revolutionizing the world of fish passage with solutions that enable selective fish passage, accelerate recovery, restore natural habitat, and limit CO2."
This salmon cannon transports the fish between bodies of water. (Via
