Pre-reproductive movements of potamodromous cyprinids in the Iberian Peninsula: when environmental variability meets semipermeable barriers

Ana Garcia-Vega et al.

Summary: This study aimed to describe pre-reproductive movements of two fish species in a regulated river, using ensemble-learning techniques for modeling fish migration and proposing adaptive management measures. Results showed migrations occurred in a wider period than previously reported, influenced by environmental factors like water temperature and river scenarios. Developed models accurately predicted migration timing and number of migrants, indicating the potential positive effects of fishway retrofitting actions under different environmental flow scenarios.

Is it safe to remove a dam at the risk of a sprawl by exotic fish species?

D. P. S. Terencio et al.

Summary: The study focused on prioritizing dam removal in the Portuguese part of Douro River, mainly considering obsolete barriers (small dams, weirs). A spatial multicriteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) was used for prioritization, taking into account a diversity of parameters such as connectivity and fish biodiversity losses, habitat degradation, negative effects on water quality and ecological conditions, and socio-economic factors.

Modelling the downstream longitudinal effects of frequent hydropeaking on the spawning potential and stranding susceptibility of salmonids

Anton J. Burman et al.

Summary: The study found that increasing hydropeaking frequency reduces potential spawning area but also decreases dewatering at low flows, while longer spill gate closing times decrease the propensity to stranding. Effects vary by species and life stage, decreasing longitudinally downstream from the spillway outlet.

Macroinvertebrate Recovery to Varying Hydropeaking Frequency: A Small Hydropower Plant Experiment

Claire Kathryn Aksamit et al.

Summary: The experimental study indicates that flexible power production in small hydropower plants can lead to hydropeaking effect which may have potential adverse impacts on the ecology of alpine streams. Habitat specific reactions in macroinvertebrate drift to hydropeaking were observed, with no significant correlation between drift abundance and recovery time.

Response of European grayling, Thymallus thymallus, to multiple stressors in hydropeaking rivers

Daniel S. Hayes et al.

Summary: The study found that hydropeaking has a significant impact on the grayling population in large Alpine valleys, with flow regulation and river morphology being key factors. The use of pooled bootstrapping can further validate these effects and provide insights for conservation and restoration strategies.
