Much effort has been devoted to developing, constructing and refining fish passage facilities
to enable target species to pass barriers on fluvial systems, and yet, fishway science …

Acipenserids (sturgeons) live in large rivers and lakes in North America and Eurasia, where
many species and populations are considered imperiled. One of the most pervasive threats …

To update the consensus on the effectiveness of fish passage mitigation structures or
“fishways,” I conducted a meta‐analysis on the fish passage literature and synthesized …

Habitat fragmentation is a principal threat to biodiversity and artificial river barriers are a
leading cause of the global decline in freshwater biota. Although the impact of barriers on …

Globally, fishways perform better when the target fish species are salmonids rather than non‐
salmonids. In the past few decades, engineers and dam managers have attempted to …

Fish passage facilities are constructed to enable fish to pass anthropogenic barriers such as
dams though their efficiency varies across species and location. There are a number of …

Artificial barriers cause widespread impacts on freshwater fish. Swimming performance is
often used as the key metric in assessing fishes' responses to river barriers. However …

Applied ecologists and conservation scientists have struggled with generating and sharing
new knowledge that is of direct relevance and use to practitioners, managers, and policy …

With the aim of building more compact fishways and adapting them to field conditions to
improve their location by fish, it is common to use turning pools, reducing the longitudinal …

Movement is essential in the ecology of most animals, and it typically consumes a large
proportion of individual energy budgets. Environmental conditions modulate the energetic …
