River fragmentation is an increasing issue for water managers and conservationists. Barriers
such as dams interfere with freshwater fish migration, leading to drastic population declines …

Understanding fish movement and response in relation to their environment near
infrastructure and migratory barriers is crucial for developing sustainable fisheries …

The vertical slot fishway (VSF) plays a major role in protection and restoration of migratory
fishes at many migratory barriers. However, the VSF design greatly depends on fish …

Predicting the behavior of individuals acting under their own motivation is a challenge
shared across multiple scientific fields, from economic to ecological systems. In rivers, fish …

The reproduction and survival of fish are often negatively affected by the construction of
dams and other hydroelectric projects, which cut off their migratory routes. Building effective …

This study used pattern-oriented modelling (POM) to investigate the space use and
behavioural response of upstream migrating European river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) to …

The objective of this study is to make a comparison between two 3D CFD platforms:
OpenFOAM (free and open-source CFD software) and FLOW-3D (closed source commercial …

Recovery of the river connectivity relies on the application of structural and non-structural
solutions. Within the structural solutions, vertical slot fishways (VSF) are most popular, but …

ABSTRACT A fishway is a fish-passing facility that helps migratory fish to cross obstacles. To
minimize the considerable time and economic costs associated with fishway structure …

Understanding how migratory animals interact with dynamic physical environments remains
a major challenge in migration biology. Interactions between migrants and wind and water …
