Abstract:American eels (Anguilla rostrata) are vulnerable to turbine-induced mortality during outmigration along regulated rivers. Turbine-induced mortality is cumulative when multiple facilities are encountered along the route. This level of mortality may be unsustainable such that facilitating upstream movement ostensibly for recovery purposes, may in fact be detrimental to the population or an ecological trap. The objectives of this study were to estimate a theoretical threshold for facilitating upstream movement pa… Show more
