Effective fishway design requires extensive integration of biological and hydraulic data.
Many relevant biological parameters remain poorly characterized, however, and the lack of …

Fish speed and stamina, locomotion and the mechanics of fish swimming, are important to
the development and design of passage, exclusion, and guidance systems for fish. Such …

Background Zebrafish has been largely accepted as a vertebrate multidisciplinary model but
