Current-mediated downstream dispersal by the early developmental stages of fish in rivers
is a common phenomenon. Knowledge of patterns and processes in the dispersal, or 'drift' …

This paper reviews results of experimental and field studies of downstream migration of
young fish carried out in the Institute of Ecology and Evolution (Russian Academy of …

Most large rivers in South America are fragmented by large dams, and a common
management strategy to mitigate impacts has been construction of fish passes. Recent …

Climate change asks for the reduction in the consumption of fossil‐based fuels and an
increased share of non‐regulated renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind …

The bleak Alburnus alburnus is a medium body-size leuciscid fish that is naturally distributed
across central European and western Asian fresh waters. However, during the last two …

Fish larval drift is an essential step in the life cycle of riverine fish species as it determines
dispersal and colonisation. Anthropogenic flow alterations and interruption of longitudinal …

River flow regime is believed to have a fundamental effect on riverine biota. It influences key
aquatic processes, including levels of dissolved oxygen, sediment transport and deposition …

Dispersal of fluvial freshwater fish larvae occurs commonly in heavily regulated rivers.
Studies increasingly indicate that drifting young fish have an active component to their …

Fishes serve as indicators in ecological assessments of European large rivers.
Electrofishing is the standard fishing method although it is restricted to the shallow littoral …

A negative effect of hydropower on river environment includes rapid changes in flow and
habitat conditions. Any sudden flow change could force fish to move towards a refuge area …
