Shining a light on the loss of rheophilic fish habitat in lowland rivers as a forgotten consequence of barriers, and its implications for management
The majority of rivers around Europe have been modified in one way or another, and no
longer have an original, continuous flow from source to outlet. The presence of weirs and …
