“…Moreover, an individual-based model, combined with the Lagrangian and Eulerian frameworks, can illustrate the interaction between the fish behavior and hydrodynamics conditions, which is closely related to the indicator of energy consumption of fish (Goodwin et al, 2006(Goodwin et al, , 2014. The evidence suggests that fishes use more energy while migrating through high turbulent kinetic energy zones, which can reduce passage success since fatigued fish are less likely to cross the zone (Guiny et al, 2005;Liu et al, 2006;Tan et al, 2022) Celestino, et al, 2018;Bunt & Jacobson, 2019;Burnett et al, 2014;Gowans et al, 1999;Lundqvist et al, 2008;Naughton et al, 2007;Steffensen et al, 2013);…”

“…Of particular concern are many migratory freshwater fish species which must reach their spawning‐, rearing‐, and overwinter habitats to complete their normal life cycle (Bao et al, 2019; Sullivan et al, 2019). There are many examples suggesting that the decline or obstruction of their migration routes caused by dams, culverts, or other anthropogenic activities, can impact freshwater biodiversity by directly decreasing the migratory fish populations (Antonio et al, 2007; Bao et al, 2019; Benitez et al, 2022; Frissell, 1993; Hatry et al, 2016; Pasha et al, 2015; Silva et al, 2018; Tan et al, 2022). For example, Chen et al (2022) found various economic migratory species (e.g., Ctenopharyngodon idella , Hypophthalmichthys nobilis , and Mylopharyngodon piceus ) which were historically common in the Pearl River have been rarely identified in the recent survey due to the long‐term obstruction of the Changzhou Dam.…”

Globally, fishways perform better when the target fish species are salmonids rather than non‐salmonids. In the past few decades, engineers and dam managers have attempted to identify an ideal fishway type that can fit all migratory orders. To determine a general rule for selecting fishway types, we classified all fish orders into two groups (salmonids and non‐salmonids) and analyzed the effect of different fishway types (i.e., nature‐like [NL], vertical slot [VS], pool and weir [PW], and denil [DL]) on upstream migration for both groups by conducting a meta‐analysis based on data from 64 studies of 76 fishways. The fishway performance was presented in terms of attraction efficiency (AE) and passage efficiency (PE). The results of a random‐effects model, including 257 and 299 estimates of AE and PE, respectively, showed fishway types only had a significant effect on AE for non‐salmonids. Technical fishways had a higher AE than NL fishways for salmonids, but were not applicable to non‐salmonids. The passage results of four fishway types indicated that the PW fishways exhibited the best performance for salmonids, but the poorest performance for non‐salmonids. Only DL fishways had a PE of over 50% for non‐salmonids, whereas all fishway types had that of over 60% for salmonids. Variations in the slope and length of VS fishways could significantly affect PE for both groups, however, the phenomenon for salmonids disappeared when merging all fishway types. Elevation changes had a significant effect only on the condition that salmonids passed through VS fishways. The results of this study play an important role in designing appropriate fishway types for different downstream fish fauna and can be better generalized by complementing quantitative evaluation studies of various fishways as much as possible.

With the development of hydraulic structures, rivers are becoming fragmented, and their connectivity is greatly affected. Important migratory routes through which fish complete their life processes are hindered. In severe cases, it may lead to the extinction of fish species. As facilities commonly used to assist fish upstreaming, fishways are significant for environmental remediation and have received attention from different scholars. This article proposed a new type of fishway, inspired by Tesla valves with obstructing reverse flow characteristics and classic fishway structures. Due to its characteristic of introducing a water-blocking island structure, it was denominated as an island-style fishway. This work studied an island fishway through a combination of physical models and numerical simulations. The results show that this fishway could achieve various flow patterns suitable for fish migration, and the flow rate control was stable. This study also explored the impact of island spacing arrangement on the turbulent structure of the pool chamber. It was found that when the island distance is set at 1.5d, indicators such as flow velocity and turbulent kinetic energy could achieve significant control effects. However, inappropriate d values might cause adverse effects. This research could provide reference ideas for the design of new fishways.

Predicting the behavior of individuals acting under their own motivation is a challenge shared across multiple scientific fields, from economic to ecological systems. In rivers, fish frequently change their orientation even when stimuli are unchanged, which makes understanding and predicting their movement in time-varying environments near built infrastructure particularly challenging. Cognition is central to fish movement, and our lack of understanding is costly in terms of time and resources needed to design and manage water operations infrastructure that is able to meet the multiple needs of human society while preserving valuable living resources. An open question is how best to cognitively account for the multi-modal, -attribute, -alternative, and context-dependent decision-making of fish near infrastructure. Here, we leverage agent- and individual-based modeling techniques to encode a cognitive approach to mechanistic fish movement behavior that operates at the scale in which water operations river infrastructure is engineered and managed. Our cognitive approach to mechanistic behavior modeling uses a Eulerian-Lagrangian-agent method (ELAM) to interpret and quantitatively predict fish movement and passage/entrainment near infrastructure across different and time-varying river conditions. A goal of our methodology is to leverage theory and equations that can provide an interpretable version of animal movement behavior in complex environments that requires a minimal number of parameters in order to facilitate the application to new data in real-world engineering and management design projects. We first describe concepts, theory, and mathematics applicable to animals across aquatic, terrestrial, avian, and subterranean domains. Then, we detail our application to juvenile Pacific salmonids in the Bay-Delta of California. We reproduce observations of salmon movement and passage/entrainment with one field season of measurements, year 2009, using five simulated behavior responses to 3-D hydrodynamics. Then, using the ELAM model calibrated from year 2009 data, we predict the movement and passage/entrainment of salmon for a later field season, year 2014, which included a novel engineered fish guidance boom not present in 2009. Central to the fish behavior model’s performance is the notion that individuals are attuned to more than one hydrodynamic signal and more than one timescale. We find that multi-timescale perception can disentangle multiplex hydrodynamic signals and inform the context-based behavioral choice of a fish. Simulated fish make movement decisions within a rapidly changing environment without global information, knowledge of which direction is downriver/upriver, or path integration. The key hydrodynamic stimuli are water speed, the spatial gradient in water speed, water acceleration, and fish swim bladder pressure. We find that selective tidal stream transport in the Bay-Delta is a superset of the fish-hydrodynamic behavior repertoire that reproduces salmon movement and passage in dam reservoir environments. From a cognitive movement ecology perspective, we describe how a behavior can emerge from a repertoire of multiple fish-hydrodynamic responses that are each tailored to suit the animal’s recent past experience (localized environmental context). From a movement behavior perspective, we describe how different fish swim paths can emerge from the same local hydrodynamic stimuli. Our findings demonstrate that a cognitive approach to mechanistic fish movement behavior modeling does not always require the maximum possible spatiotemporal resolution for representing the river environmental stimuli although there are concomitant tradeoffs in resolving features at different scales. From a water operations perspective, we show that a decision-support tool can successfully operate outside the calibration conditions, which is a necessary attribute for tools informing future engineering design and management actions in a world that will invariably look different than the past.
