Injury Risks to a Migratory Freshwater Fish During Downstream Passage Through a Regulated Floodplain Outlet: A Case Study on Golden Perch (Macquaria ambigua)

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River infrastructures such as weirs, dams, inlet and outlet regulators often impair connectivity, leading to degradation and loss of key habitats for riverine fishes. This also holds true for golden perch (Macquaria ambigua Richardson), a migratory species in Australia's Murray–Darling Basin.
