Interesting, this claims that fish and other wildlife can pass through but they don't seem to explain how it's different from bubble barriers used to deter fish from passing into underwater construction zones related to drilling or pile driving [1].
In that article the primary purpose seems to be to reduce soundwaves rather than preventing fish from passing through, so both sources are in agreement there that it lessens soundwaves.
Also the pressures could be different. It's not hard to imagine that higher pressure would act as a bigger deterrent to passing through, so maybe that's what they're using at the construction site?
Both the bubble barrier page and the article you linked are fairly short on specifics though, which is a shame. It wouldn't be that hard to write out some pressures...
Agree, I hope it's a possible solution. Just thought it was interesting after hearing about the technology a few days ago in relation to sound suppression and rocket launches.
