Abstract:
River fragmentation caused by dams, culverts, and weirs is among the main drivers of the decline of migrating freshwater fish species worldwide. In order to address this issue, engineers and biologists have been developing structures to ensure the safe passage of fish over these barriers, so-called fishways. These structures are designed to allow fish to overcome the barrier without injury, stress, nor significant delay, which might impact their behaviour during critical life stages.
