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 …

The construction of dams and weirs has fragmented many rivers and streams globally, and
this is a major threat to biodiversity. The most common method used to reduce these impacts …

This paper presents an overall assessment of the hydraulics of a vertical slot fishway, the
Vianney-Legendre vertical slot fishway on the Richelieu River in Quebec, Canada, which …

Turning pools are common in fishways, they create a more compact design by enabling
fishways to fold back on themselves. Despite this, little is known about the hydraulic …

Freshwater ecosystems and the fisheries they support are increasingly threatened by human
activities. To aid in their management and protection, we outline nine key principles for …

Adequately designed vertical slot fishways (VSF) mitigate the impact of anthropogenic
obstructions on fish migrations. Until now, most studies on VSF were conducted focusing on …

Fishways are hydraulic structures that allow passage of fish across obstructions in rivers.
Vertical slot fishways—VSFs—are considered the most efficient and least selective type of …

Fishways have been widely used for upstream passage around human-built structures, but
'success' has varied dramatically. Evaluation of fishway success has typically been …

River networks worldwide are highly fragmented and this is particularly prevalent in the
human-dominated lowland landscape of the Netherlands. Fishways function as measures to …

Retrofitting, or the addition of features to existing fishways to make them more suitable for
upstream fish passage, is an issue of increasing interest in fishway science. Despite its …
