“…Recent studies have defined the critical swimming speed of barbel [50] –0.81 m.s −1 (3.1 BL. s −1 ) – and of chub’s sister species the bordallo ( Squalius carolitertii (Doadrio, 1988)) [51] –0.54 m.s −1 (4.4 BL.…”

Fish are particularly sensitive to connectivity loss as their ability to reach spawning grounds is seriously affected. The most common way to circumvent a barrier to longitudinal connectivity, and to mitigate its impacts, is to implement a fish passage device. However, these structures are often non-effective for species with different morphological and ecological characteristics so there is a need to determine optimum dimensioning values and hydraulic parameters. The aim of this work is to study the behaviour and performance of two species with different ecological characteristics (Iberian barbel Luciobarbus bocagei–bottom oriented, and Iberian chub Squalius pyrenaicus–water column) in a full-scale experimental pool-type fishway that offers two different flow regimes–plunging and streaming. Results showed that both species passed through the surface notch more readily during streaming flow than during plunging flow. The surface oriented species used the surface notch more readily in streaming flow, and both species were more successful in moving upstream in streaming flow than in plunging flow. Streaming flow enhances upstream movement of both species, and seems the most suitable for fishways in river systems where a wide range of fish morpho-ecological traits are found.

“…Fishway design recommendations usually distinguish between salmonids and a large group of fish, often called "others", "non salmonids", "weak swimmers", "white fish", or "coarse fish" (Alexandre et al, 2013;Mallen-Cooper, 1999;Mateus et al, 2008). Fish passes for salmonids are designed with higher slope or drop per pool than for other fish (Larinier, 2002a).…”

-Passage performance of brown trout (Salmo trutta), Iberian barbel (Luciobarbus bocagei), and northern straight-mouth nase (Pseudochondrostoma duriense) was investigated in a vertical slot fishway in the Porma River (Duero River basin, Spain) using PIT telemetry. We analysed the effects of different fishway discharges on motivation and passage success. Both cyprinid species ascended the fishway easily, performing better than the trout despite their theoretically weaker swimming performance. Fishway discharge affected fish motivation although it did not clearly influence passage success. Observed results can guide design and operation criteria of vertical slot fishways for native Iberian fish. Key-words:Iberian fish / vertical slot fishway / fish passage / motivation / transit time Résumé -Aptitude au passage de la truite, Salmo trutta, et de deux cyprinidés ibériques, le barbeau ibérique, Luciobarbus bocagei, et le nase à bouche droite, Pseudochondrostoma duriense dans une passe à poissons à fentes verticales. La performance de passage de la truite (Salmo trutta), du barbeau ibérique (Luciobarbus bocagei), et du nase à bouche droite (Pseudochondrostoma duriense) a été étudiée dans une passe à fentes verticales dans la rivière Porma (bassin de la rivière Douro, Espagne) en utilisant la technologie PIT. Nous avons analysé les effets de différents débits dans la passe à poissons sur la motivation et la réussite de passage. Les deux espèces de cyprinidés montaient la passe facilement, étaient plus performantes que les truites, malgré leur performance de nage théoriquement plus faible. Le débit dans la passe affectait la motivation des poissons bien qu'il n'ait pas influencé clairement le succès de passage. Les résultats observés peuvent guider dans les critères de conception de passes à fentes verticales pour les poissons indigènes.

“…Historically, studies of the swimming performance of fish have principally focused on species from temperate climates (Jones et al, 1974;Beamish, 1978Beamish, , 1981Kolok, 1992;Hammer, 1995;Plaut, 2001;Mateus et al, 2008), and in the Neotropical region have focused mostly on migratory fish species (Santos et al, 2007;. Studies on the swimming behavior of subterranean species were performed only for Astyanax fasciatus, and have focused on hydrodynamic imaging (Holbrook et al, 2007;Windsor et al, 2008Windsor et al, , 2010a.…”
