Requirements and boundary conditions for fish passes of non-sport fish species based on Chilean experiences

Most artificial fish passes have been developed in Northern temperate rivers and are designed to serve large, migratory sport fish species (mostly salmonids). Experience in construction and maintenance of fish passes show that salmon-criteria are not adequate for flat-land rivers and non-sport fishe...

Description
Summary:Most artificial fish passes have been developed in Northern temperate rivers and are designed to serve large, migratory sport fish species (mostly salmonids). Experience in construction and maintenance of fish passes show that salmon-criteria are not adequate for flat-land rivers and non-sport fishes. Consequently, over the last decade, design criteria have changed to take requirements of target species into account. Extrapolation of these concepts to rivers in the Southern Hemisphere with different hydrological conditions and fish community composition is not straight forward. This review focuses on requirements for an adequate hydraulic design of passes for non-sport fish species bodied (
