Fishes use a variety of sensory systems to learn about their environments and to
communicate. Of the various senses, hearing plays a particularly important role for fishes in …

Hydropower is commonly considered a renewable energy source. Nevertheless, this does
not imply an absence of impacts on the riverine ecosystem, the extent of which is expected …

Hydroelectric power plants managed in response to sub-daily changes of the electricity
market undergo rapid variations of turbine discharge, entailing quickly fluctuating water …

Biodiversity in freshwater habitats is decreasing faster than in any other type of environment,
mostly as a result of human activities. Monitoring these losses can help guide mitigation …

Peak-operating hydropower plants are usually the energy grid's backbone by providing
flexible energy production. At the same time, hydropeaking operations are considered one …

Underwater sounds from human sources can have detrimental effects upon aquatic animals,
including fishes. Thus, it is important to establish sound exposure criteria for fishes, setting …

This article proposes and demonstrates a new classification system of fish population level
effects of hydropeaking operations in rivers. The classification of impacts is developed along …

Coral reef soundscapes are increasingly studied for their ecological uses by invertebrates
and fishes, for monitoring habitat quality, and to investigate effects of anthropogenic noise …

The change in the global energy production mix towards variable renewable energy sources
requires efficient utilization of regulated rivers to optimise hydropower operations meet the …

We present the quantitative characterization of Grande Island's off-reef acoustic environment
within the Zuari estuary during the pre-monsoon period. Passive acoustic recordings reveal …
