Fish Protection Technologies and Fish Ways for Downstream Migration

Fish Protection & Migration

A comprehensive reference on technologies designed to protect fish and facilitate safe downstream migration, particularly at hydropower facilities. It combines fish biology and migration behavior with practical engineering approaches for designing, testing, and evaluating fish-protection systems at hydropower intakes. The book provides an interdisciplinary resource connecting applied ecology with civil and hydraulic engineering for biologists, engineers, planners, environmental consultants, and public authorities.
