Fish Protection Technologies and Fish Ways for Downstream Migration

Focusing on fish protection and downstream migration, this book systematically reviews current technologies used at hydropower intakes. It presents accurate data and guidelines aligned with the EU Water Framework Directive for designing and testing these systems. Additionally, it delves into fish biology, particularly swimming and migration mechanisms, bridging applied ecology and civil hydraulic engineering. This authoritative guide serves biologists, hydraulic engineers, planners, public authorities, and environmental consultants, offering valuable insights into both theory and practical applications.
