Structures assisting the migrations of non-salmonid fish: USSR

Year of publication 1989

Place of publication Rome, Italy ;

Publisher FAO ;

Product type Book (series)

Series title FAO Fisheries Technical Paper

Series number 308

Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) This technical paper provides information on provisions, made in the USSR, to facilitate fish migra-tion under conditions of modified river flow resulting from engineering construction and water abstraction. The fish-pass and fish protection structures described utilise a knowledge of the physiology, biology, ecology and behaviour of the migrating species. The principles of their design and operation are elaborated in relation to characteristics of the species of fish concerned. Structures described include sluice fish-passes, hydraulic and mechanical fish-lifts and mobile devices for fish collection and transfer, together with protection and guiding devices used to ensure downstream migration of young fish.

    FAO/TCF Workshop on Advanced methods for the analysis of hard structures of fish to assess fish migration and feeding behaviour in view of improved management 2016

    The FAO/TCF workshop, held in Mongolia from 7 - 13 October 2015, was attended by government officials and representatives of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, universities, the Eg River Hydropower Project Unit, the private sector and the Taimen Conservation Fund. Classroom sessions provided a broad overview of the background and theoretical aspects of the isotope analysis. Practical field work pertained to identifying and characterizing relevant sampling sites, sampling of fish and extracting a nd preserving of hard structures. Also water samples were taken. State-of-the-art knowledge concerning the isotope analysis in fish hard parts was presented to raise awareness of the benefits of this technique for the characterization of fish migration and feeding behaviour, and to stimulate informed discussions about fish migrations, fish protection, aquatic habitat and living aquatic resources management, and related issues in view of an improved integrated basin management. Local aquatic envi ronmental issues, potential human-induced threats to the aquatic environment, and especially actual and potential impacts on fish and fisheries in the Eg/Selenge catchment, were scrutinised. Potential approaches based on science were discussed. There was agreement that further aquatic environmental studies would be beneficial to better understand river-related processes and potential implications of planned measures in the Eg/Selenge basin.
