Passability of Potamodromous Species through a Fish Lift at a Large Hydropower Plant (Touvedo, Portugal)
River fragmentation by large hydropower plants (LHP) has been recognized as a major threat for potamodromous fish. Fishways have thus been built to partially restore connectivity, with fish lifts representing the most cost-effective type at high head obstacles. This study assessed the effectiveness...
