Swimming performance is a key feature that mediates fitness and survival in aquatic
animals. Dispersal, habitat selection, predator–prey interactions and reproduction are …

Riverine fish stranding is of significant concern due to its potentially devastating impacts on
fish populations already at risk. Because stranding is dependent on a wide range of biotic …

The hydraulic performance and fish guidance efficiency (FGE) for behaviourally-based
mechanical fish guidance structures, ie louvers and modified angled bar racks (MBRs), were …

Fish swimming behavior is a critical parameter for the design of vertical slot fishways.
Although Schizothorax prenanti is a significant reproductive potamodromous migratory fish …

Fishways are hydraulic structures that allow passage of fish across obstructions in rivers.
Vertical slot fishways—VSFs—are considered the most efficient and least selective type of …

A dam will be built in the upper Han River, China, disrupting fish migration and gene
exchange, and a vertical slot fishway will be constructed to mitigate the impacts. Of the forty …

The presence of small weirs, far more numerous than dams, has increased habitat
fragmentation on rivers worldwide. This study aims to evaluate the upstream passage …

Attracting fish to fishway entrances is vital for ensuring successful and timely passage at
dams and other in-stream barriers. This requires knowledge of both the target species' …

Addressing the impact of dams and other water control structures on fish communities and
aquatic ecosystems is a major concern for fisheries managers in the Laurentian Great …

Hydraulic structures are man-made waterworks interacting with the rainfall run-off to store
and convey water, or mitigate the impact of run-off. Current approaches in hydraulic structure …
