This document presents a compilation of information relating to fish passage design criteria
for a variety of species endemic to Newfoundland and Labrador. The primary focus is on …

Fish speed and stamina, locomotion and the mechanics of fish swimming, are important to
the development and design of passage, exclusion, and guidance systems for fish. Such …

This Technical Report describes a study to assess the swimming capability of a number of
fish species and to determine the minimum effective swimming depth. This report contains …

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the US Geological Survey (USGS) and the
US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) have collaborated to develop passage design …

In the last one hundred years there have been dramatic declines in the range and
abundance of native freshwater fish in southeastern Australia. A major contributing factor to …

There is a distinct need for fishway designs that are passable by small-bodied fishes. Like
many lotic systems worldwide, the streams of the North American Great Plains are frequently …

Several measures have been developed to quantify swimming performance to understand
various aspects of ecology and behaviour, as well as to help design functional applications …

The ability of fish to migrate past velocity barriers results from both attempt rate and
swimming capacity. Here, I formalize this relationship, providing equations for estimating the …

Critical swimming speed (U crit) is a common measure of the relationship between exercise
intensity and duration within the prolonged performance envelope. This relationship is often …

Swimming ability of wild brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis, brown trout Salmo trutta,
anadromous Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, and landlocked Atlantic salmon was examined …
