“…Preserving functionality of fishways for organisms with different performance or behavioural constraints is difficult and, in some cases, species‐specific design elements need to be incorporated. This is exemplified by the proliferation of structures to accommodate anguilliform swimmers (Kemp, Russon, Vowles & Lucas, ; Moser, Jackson, Tsuzaki & Kemp, ; Vowles, Don, Karageorgopolous, Worthington & Kemp, ). The ideal fish passage structure will allow natural migration of all species and life stages that encounter a barrier, thereby mitigating habitat fragmentation (Agostinho, Agostinho, Pelicice, deAlmeida & Marques, ; Gollmann et al., ).…”
