Disruption of movement patterns due to alterations in habitat connectivity is a pervasive
effect of humans on animal populations. In many terrestrial and aquatic systems, there is …

Conservation of freshwater biodiversity requires being able to track the presence and
abundance of entire fish communities. However, studying fish community composition within …

Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting the physiological
activities and, thus, the fitness of fish, and physiological studies can help predict the effects …

Simple Summary The artificial release of hatchery fish has not achieved expected results,
mainly due to the low survival rate of the fish after being released into the natural …

Most fishway studies are conducted during the reproductive period, yet uncertainty remains
on whether results may be biased if the same studies were performed outside of the …

For many freshwater and diadromous fishes, dams create a significant conservation
challenge by fragmenting migratory routes, modifying habitats and altering patterns of water …

Fishways have been developed to restore longitudinal connectivity in rivers. Despite their
potential for aiding fish passage, fishways may represent a source of significant energetic …

Hydropower dams can negatively affect upstream and downstream migratory fish
populations in many ways, such as blocking access to upstream habitats and causing …

Fishways are increasingly constructed to maintain longitudinal connectivity for fish in
numerous river systems where migrations are interrupted by anthropogenic barriers …

Simple Summary In the context of climate change, warming of the seas and expansion of
hypoxic zones are challenges that most species of fish are, or will be subjected to. We …
