The paper reviews recent research and development activities in the field of hydropower
technology. It covers emerging and advanced technologies to mitigate flow instabilities …

The mahseer fishes (Tor spp.) represent an iconic genus of large-bodied species of the
Cyprinidae family. Across the 16 recognised species in the genus, individual fish can attain …

Fragmentation is one of the major threats to riverine ecosystems and this is most explicitly
expressed by the decline in numbers of migratory fish species. Yet each species has …

Realization of the importance of fish passage for migratory species has led to the
development of innovative and creative solutions ('fishways') to mitigate the effects of …

Ten anadromous lamprey species (Petromyzontiformes) are recognized around the world,
including four species in the Southern Hemisphere and six in the Northern Hemisphere …

The rapid decline in sturgeon populations is largely a result of human activities, especially
the proliferation of hydraulic structures and lack of fish passage systems effective for …

Worldwide, fishways are increasingly criticized for failing to meet conservation goals. We
argue that this is largely due to the dominance of diadromous species of the Northern …

River longitudinal connectivity is crucial for diadromous fish species to reproduce and grow,
its fragmentation by large dams may prevent these species to complete their life cycle. This …

The conservation of migratory fish species worldwide has been threatened by the loss of
longitudinal connectivity caused by dams intercepting large rivers. One environmental …

Diadromous fish, like the European eel Anguilla anguilla (L., 1758), are highly threatened by
dams that disrupt river connectivity, consequently impeding fish movements to reach feeding …
