The development of hydropower and other infrastructure that disrupts river connectivity
poses a serious threat to highly endemic and genetically distinct freshwater fish species in …

The turbulent properties of flow in rivers are of fundamental importance to aquatic organisms
yet are rarely quantified during routine river habitat assessment surveys or the design of …

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 …

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 …

This study investigates the potential for physical damage caused by suspended fine
sediment on gills of three macroinvertebrate species, Hydropsyche siltalai, Ephemera …

Longitudinal river fragmentation through physical barriers is a major issue for the
conservation of aquatic species in regions with intense hydropower development, such as …

Swimming behavior of Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) smolts affects transit
time, route selection and survival in complex aquatic ecosystems. Behavior quantified at the …

In recent years, ecologically oriented river engineering practices such as nature-like
fishways have become a common solution to mitigate or compensate for negative …

Velocity measurements from experiments performed downstream of patches of submerged
aquatic vegetation were analysed. Two patches of different species, ie, P. crispus and M …

Hydropower barriers are among the most conspicuous anthropogenic alterations to natural
riverine connectivity, resulting in species‐specific effects linked to dispersal abilities …
