	Fish screens can be round, square, or rectangular in shape. However, they must not include any sort of sharp ~~protrustion~~ that could injure fish that collide with the screen~~. Generally, fish screens~~ are made of some material that allows water to flow through the screen while blocking fish and debris from flowing through. ~~They can be made~~ of perforated [[metal]], netting, or fence-wire. Metals that can be used to make fish screens include brass, bronze, [[aluminum]], galvanized or stainless steel, and plastics.<ref name="RE1"/> Whichever material is used, the screen must be resistant to corrosion and deterioration as a result of exposure to [[ultraviolet]] [[light]].
