Dispersal Limitation Dominates Riverine Fish Communities in the Areas of the Water Diversion Project in the Western Sichuan Plateau, China [PDF]
The riverine fish species are highly vulnerable and responsive to large-scale water diversion projects. These adverse impacts are more pronounced in the plateau river ecosystems, which may change the environmental conditions of fish habitats and ...

Evaluation of cone fishways to facilitate passage of small-bodied fish
Fishways are being provided more regularly than ever before and new designs are needed to provide passage for whole fish communities. Despite recent progress, fishways have frequently performed poorly, especially for small-bodied fish (i.e.

Evaluation of Fish Communities in Daya Bay Using Biomass Size Spectrum and ABC Curve
Based on the data collected by four trawl surveys during 2016–2017, we applied biomass size spectrum (BSS) and abundance–biomass comparison (ABC) curve to assess the status of fish communities’ status in Daya Bay, China. Our findings indicated a unimodal

Resilience and Adaptation of Fishing Communities [PDF]
Fishing communities have faced numerous challenges over the past twenty years, including reform of the European Common Fisheries Policy and environmental, economic and social instability. But the households, businesses and places that depend on fishing have often displayed remarkable levels of resilience and ability to adapt.
