Fishway Evaluations for Better Bioengineering: An Integrative Approach (2009, background): “Predation both above and below dams remains a major concern surrounding fish passage and is one reason that passage delays should be minimized (Venditti et al. 2000; Agostinho et al. 2002; Laake et al. 2002; Aarestrup and Koed 2003).”
Fish assemblages in Neotropical reservoirs: Colonization patterns, impacts and management (2016, background): “…fish passages, whose performance depends on the interacion between their technical characteristics and the nature of the ocal ichthyofauna, were at high risk of failure, wasting financial esources, effort and opportunity (Agostinho et al., 2002; Pelicice nd Agostinho, 2008; Pompeu et al., 2012).”
Fish diversity in the upper Paraná River basin: habitats, fisheries, management and conservation (2007, background): “The main problem was that functioning of fish ladder depends on their technical features (type, slope, discharge, position in relation to other components of the dam) and the nature of the fish fauna ( Agostinho et al, 2002a ).”
Fish ladder of Lajeado Dam: migrations on one-way routes? (2007, background): “Spawning during the rainy periods and in the consequently turbid waters is an adaptation to protect these developmental stages from predation (Agostinho et al., 2002).”
Migratory fishes of Brazil: Life history and fish passage needs (2009, background): “Also, Agostinho et al. (2002) suggested that fishways are an inadequate tool for conserving Neotropical fishes in most situations, but they can be useful if there is a large free-flowing stretch upstream of a dam that contains spawning habitat and has large natural floodplain areas (nursery habitat)”
Conservation of the Biodiversity of Brazil's Inland Waters (2005, background): “In the Paraná River basin, some fish ladders resulted in fish entering the reservoir, where adequate spawning sites and/or nursery areas were lacking, when they were capable of spawning below the dam (Agostinho et al. 2002).”
Effectiveness monitoring of fish passage facilities: historical trends, geographic patterns and future directions (2010, background): “…H and F I S H E R I E S , 11, 12–33 21 In South America the focus of passage facilities was on large-bodied migratory species that support valuable commercial and recreational fisheries (Agostinho et al. 2002) although most evaluations also considered a wide range of species including small fishes.”
Non‐salmonids in a salmonid fishway: what do 50 years of data tell us about past and future fish passage? (2007, methodology): “This is the case in Australia from 1914 (Hooker 1966) until the late-1980s (Mallen-Cooper & Harris 1990) and paralleled in neotropical rivers from 1911 to the present ( Agostinho et al. 2002 ).”
