Impacts of gravel jetting on the composition of fish spawning substrates: Implications for river restoration and fisheries management

Fine sediments can impact river biota, with egg and larval stages of lithophilic fish particularly sensitive to deposition of sand- to clay-sized particles (‘fines’) in spawning gravels. Mitigation and restoration methods include jetting to cleanse gravels of fines. Despite wide application, impacts...
