The pool-type fishway, such as pool-weir, vertical-slot, and rock-weir fishways, is one of the
most common fishways that presented the highest efficiency for all fish species …

This paper presents an overall assessment of the hydraulics of a vertical slot fishway, the
Vianney-Legendre vertical slot fishway on the Richelieu River in Quebec, Canada, which …

Global stocks of freshwater fish have been on the decline for decades, driven in part by the
obstruction of their migration routes by anthropogenic barriers. To mitigate such impacts …

Eco-hydraulic models are wide extended tools to assess physical habitat suitability on
aquatic environments. Currently, the application of these tools is limited to short river …

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

Restoration of upstream fish passage requires construction of efficient fishways. Selection of
attraction flow rates and entrance velocities is one of the fundamental research tasks on …

Adequately designed vertical slot fishways (VSF) mitigate the impact of anthropogenic
obstructions on fish migrations. Until now, most studies on VSF were conducted focusing on …

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 …

This paper presents sprinting data from Iberian barbel (Luciobarbus bocagei) and northern
straight-mouth nase (Pseudochondrostoma duriense), volitionally swimming against high …

The restoration of migration pathways for fish is crucial for the maintenance of populations in
a worldwide context of increasing river fragmentation due to the development of dams …
