This book offers a comprehensive review of current systems for fish protection and downstream migration. It offers the first systematic description of the currently available technologies for fish protection at hydropower intakes, including accurate and timely data collected by the authors and other researchers. It describes how to design and test them in agreement with the guidelines established from the EU Water Framework Directive. The book includes important information about fish biology, with a special focus on swimming and migration mechanisms. It offers a robust bridge between concepts in applied ecology and civil hydraulic engineering, thus providing biologists and hydraulic engineers with an authoritative reference guide to both the theory and practice of fish protection. It is also of interest for planners, public authorities as well as environmental consultants

Dr. Ulrich Schwevers is director of the Institute of Applied Ecology (Institut für angewandte Ökologie) in Germany. His interdisciplinary knowledge, notably on river ecology and hydraulic engineering, has enabled him to coauthor several publications with guidelines on fish ways for upstream and downstream migrants. He has travelled extensively in the course of his work and participated in over 300 projects, e.g. in Germany, Switzerland, France and the Netherlands.

Introduction.- Basic reqirements of fish protection and downstream passage.- Impact of Downstream passability.- Fish protection facilities.- Fishways for downstream migration.- Fish-friendly turbines.- Fish-friendly operational management.- Species-specific requirements.- Habitat measures.- Open questions and knowledge deficits.
