Declining fish communities characterise global freshwater environments, including those in
Australia. Lost river connectivity through water resource development is a key cause of …

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 …

Low-head dams and small hydropower developments are widely distributed in global rivers
because of their high cost-efficiency and smooth implementation. However, these …

Hydraulic considerations specific for the design of step-pool nature-like fishways (NLFs) are
limited to the body dimensions of the target species. Additional hydraulic criteria for flow …

Hydrodynamics in dam tailraces can influence the swimming behavior and survival of fish,
and yet there have been few studies that have linked the movement patterns of fish to …

Using traps and passive integrated transponder (PIT) telemetry, we investigated the
effectiveness of the nature-like fishway installed at Sangju Weir on the Nakdong River …

Boulder placement is a common method to restore degraded instream habitats by
enhancing habitat complexity. This experimental study is the foremost attempt to …

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

Culverts are instream structures that act as hydrological barriers to fish movement by altering
water turbulence, increasing water velocities and disrupting connectivity. Hydrological …

Most artificial fish passes have been developed in Northern temperate rivers and are
designed to serve large, migratory sport fish species (mostly salmonids). Experience in …
