Yangtze Dams Increasingly Threaten the Survival of the Chinese Sturgeon [PDF]

Current Biology, 2018
Dams are considered to be a serious threat to migratory fish on a global scale. Most of the world's rivers have been dammed, including those containing hotspots of fish diversity [1-3]. The mechanism by which dams affect fish is unclear and has often led to an underestimation of their cumulative and far-reaching adverse effects.
