Abstract

There are many obstacles in rivers that prevent or hinder passage of fish past barriers. Here, we present a specially designed solution for juvenile and adult brown trout so that they may to swim past discharge-regulating weirs in the upper Caraş River in both the upstream and downstream directions. The proposed solution relies on gravity flow and will have current velocities that will not inhibit weak swimmers swimming upstream to pass the weirs. Corrosion-resistant materials and the absence of components that could potentially injure the fish will be used in the construction of these technical solutions. Although testing of the functionality of this solutions for upstream - downstream and downstream - upstream passage of weirs is needed, we believe that if implemented, it should improve connectivity especially for brown trout and consequently conserve within-stream genetic diversity in the Caraş River and where appropriate in alike other Carpathian lotic systems with similar types of weirs.
