abstract = {One of the major problems in fishway design is that optimal parameters depend on an interplay of hydraulic and biological variables. This study presents a methodology for evaluating fishway designs in terms of the swimming capabilities of the “client” fish. Specifically, we evaluate two vertical-slot designs whose hydraulic properties were empirically characterized in a previous study. In view of these empirical data, we estimate for each design a) minimum discharges giving minimum fish-acceptable depths; b) maximum pool sizes ensuring flow velocities low enough to be overcome by the fish; c) maximum pool sizes ensuring turbulence low enough to be acceptable to the fish. These design constraints are calculated for different slopes (~6% or ~10%), for different water temperatures (10, 15 or 20°C), and for different fish lengths. This methodology constitutes an effective means of taking fish swimming capabilities into account at the fishway design stage. © 2020 International Symposium on Hydraulic Structures - XXII Congreso Latinoamericano de Hidraulica.
