Downstream migration solutions for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in regulated rivers
Downstream migration solutions for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in regulated rivers
Samenvatting
The ecological connectivity of rivers around the world is under threat due to several anthropogenic influences. Dams and weirs for hydropower production are being constructed at unprecedented rates mainly to satisfy the increasing energy demands and the shift towards renewables. Many migratory species of fish like Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are threatened by these barriers. Since fishways and other techniques to facilitate upstream migration have been largely studied in the past, the aim of this thesis is to identify which measures could improve at best the downstream migration of Atlantic salmon in regulated rivers and to provide guidelines for the implementation of future projects in Europe.
