Sedentary fish as indicators of changes in the river flow rate after impoundment

Sedentary fish as indicators of changes in the river flow rate after impoundment

The natural flood pulse of the Amazon basin has been altered progressively by the installation of hydroelectric dams, which have had a potentially adverse impact on the local fauna. Fish are sensitive to environmental changes, and one the way to assess how they respond is through the analysis of lif...
