Swimming performance is a key feature that mediates fitness and survival in aquatic
animals. Dispersal, habitat selection, predator–prey interactions and reproduction are …

Adequately designed vertical slot fishways (VSF) mitigate the impact of anthropogenic
obstructions on fish migrations. Until now, most studies on VSF were conducted focusing on …

Swimming performance is important for fish migration, habitat selection, and predator-prey
interaction, as well as for fish passage design. Procedural choices made when …

Dams and other in‐stream obstacles disrupt longitudinal connectivity and hinder fish from
moving between habitats. Fishways and other fish passage solutions are used to pass fish …

Knowing the relationship between size, morphological traits and swimming performance of
fish is essential to understand the swimming capacity to successfully surpass these …

This paper presents sprinting data from Iberian barbel (Luciobarbus bocagei) and northern
straight-mouth nase (Pseudochondrostoma duriense), volitionally swimming against high …

Fish are particularly sensitive to connectivity loss as their ability to reach spawning grounds
is seriously affected. The most common way to circumvent a barrier to longitudinal …

Passage performance of brown trout (Salmo trutta), Iberian barbel (Luciobarbus bocagei),
and northern straight-mouth nase (Pseudochondrostoma duriense) was investigated in a …

Water temperature and flow velocity directly affect the fish swimming capacity, and thus, both
variables influence the fish passage through river barriers. Nonetheless, their effects are …

Adequately designed fishways mitigate the negative effects of barriers in rivers, restoring
longitudinal connectivity. To do so, they must present suitable hydraulic conditions, with …
