Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are one of the principal threats to freshwater biodiversity.
Exclusion barriers are increasingly being used as a management strategy to control the …

Current-mediated downstream dispersal by the early developmental stages of fish in rivers
is a common phenomenon. Knowledge of patterns and processes in the dispersal, or 'drift' …

Previous studies on plastic pollution of aquatic ecosystems focused on the world's oceans.
Large rivers as major pathways for land-based plastic litter, has received less attention so …

We mapped the inferred long-distance migrations of four species of Amazonian goliath
catfishes (Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii, B. platynemum, B. juruense and B. vaillantii) based …

The stability of habitat conditions in littoral zones of navigated rivers is strongly affected by
shipping induced waves and water displacements. In particular, the increase of variability in …

The use of environmental flow (e-flow) regimes has been widely implemented to improve
fish habitat quality in river restoration efforts. However, e-flow designs focusing only on one …

Fish larval drift is an essential step in the life cycle of riverine fish species as it determines
dispersal and colonisation. Anthropogenic flow alterations and interruption of longitudinal …

Conservation of endangered or economic fish and control of invasive fish is a great
challenge of hydraulic engineering worldwide. Flow velocity has been recognized to affect …

Potadromous fishes are vulnerable to involuntary entrainment through hydropower turbines.
However, turbines can also provide a downstream passage route for potadromous fish …

River floodplain channels can serve as reproduction, nursery or refuge areas for fish.
Although the complementary use of floodplain and main channels is known, few studies …
