Fishways play an increasingly important role in restoring free passages in rivers for aquatic
organisms, especially fishes. Effective fishway operations are the prerequisite for the …

For centuries, humankind has constructed dams on rivers to control flooding, provide for
irrigation and utilize potential energy for power, but generally dams had no or little provision …

The construction of pool-type fishways has greatly increased in recent years in response to
widespread river fragmentation by man-made structures. However, the performance of such …

Nature-like fishways have been installed at many migration barriers in recent years to
mitigate the effects of human development and habitat fragmentation on fish. The design of …

Retrofitting, or the addition of features to existing fishways to make them more suitable for
upstream fish passage, is an issue of increasing interest in fishway science. Despite its …

Two different arrangements of the weir (ie, straight weir and rectangular labyrinth weir) were
used to evaluate the effects of geometric parameters such as weir shape, weir spacing …

To restore dam-blocked natural fish migratory passages, a growing number of artificial
fishways have been built in water conservancy and hydropower projects in China. The Angu …

Fishways are structures that aim to achieve the free movement of fish through transversal
obstacles in rivers. Despite the wide research about their performance, their hydraulic study …

A brand-new type of multislot and pool–weir combined fishway (MSWF) is firstly proposed in
this paper. In fact, six MSWF configurations (MSWF-1 to MSWF-6) are designed and …

This study aims to provide a way to increase the energy dissipation of flow in the inclined
drop with environmental and economic considerations. Eighty-one experiments were …
