“…Studies examining the effects of hydraulics on fish passage are limited by scale. Fish experience hydraulic conditions locally (Eulerian frame) and continuously along a movement path (Lagrangian frame) in a highly complex hydraulic environment (Goodwin et al, 2006). Studies employing Particle Image Velocimetry have the capability of quantifying hydraulics continuously along fish movement paths; however, the majority of these studies are limited to laboratory settings that constrain the transferability of results to natural environments (Cotel and Webb, 2012).…”

EFFECTS OF WHITEWATER PARKS ON FISH PASSAGE:A SPATIALLY EXPLICIT HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS Whitewater parks (WWPs) provide a valuable recreational and economic resource that is rapidly growing in popularity throughout the United States. WWPs were originally thought to enhance aquatic habitat; however, recent studies have shown that the hydraulic conditions required to meet recreational needs can act as a partial barrier to upstream migrating trout and that WWP pools may contain lower densities of fish compared to natural pools. There is limited knowledge of the direct effects of WWPs on fish passage. Managers and policy makers are forced to review WWP designs and make permit decisions without sound scientific evidence. It is also difficult to make design recommendations for future WWPs and possibly retrofitting existing WWPs to allow for successful fish passage without improved understanding of the factors contributing to suppression of movement in WWPs. We describe novel approaches combining fish movement data and hydraulic results from a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model to examine the physical processes that limit upstream movement of trout in an actual WWP in Lyons, Colorado. These methods provide a continuous and spatially explicit description of velocity, depth, vorticity, and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) along potential fish swimming paths in the flow field. Variation in the magnitude and distribution of velocity and depth relative to fish swimming ability is reflective of variation in passage success among WWP structures and size classes of fish. Logistic regression analyses indicate a significant influence of velocity and depth on limiting passage success and accurately predict > 86 percent observed fish movements. Relationships emerge at individual WWP structures that iii highlight unique hydraulic characteristics and their effect on passage success. The methods described in this study provide a powerful approach to quantify hydraulic conditions at a scale meaningful to a fish and mechanistically evaluate the effects of hydraulic structures on fish passage. The results of these analyses can be used for management and design guidance, have implications for fishes with lesser swimming abilities, and demonstrate the need to assess additional WWPs of various sizes.iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

“…According to the fish presence frequency and the corresponding environment conditions, the relationship can be defined through the detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) or canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) methods (Katopodis, 2002;Goodwin et al, 2006;Nagaya et al, 2008). Another method is to conduct experiments in a large flume in laboratory.…”

“…By observing the appearing frequency of the studied fish and the corresponding velocity, depth, the presence-velocity-depth (PVD) curve can be defined. The latest way is to track the movements of fish by acoustic PIT-Tag, to set up the relationship between fish and aquatic environment (Nestler et al, 2002;Goodwin, et al, 2006;Baigun et al, 2007).…”

“…It is similar to the Lagrangian approach in fluid mechanics. Owing to the special ability, individual-based approach has been widely applied to fish population modelling (Goodwin et al, 2006;Charles et al, 2008;O'Callaghan and Gordon, 2008).…”

“…Because of the high cost and the long period of monitoring campaign, numerical simulation based on physical mechanisms has become the major method. Fish population dynamics is seen as an important indicator of aquatic environment changes, thus attracts great interests from the modelling community (Liem, 1995;Dong and DeAngelis, 1998;Holm et al, 2001;Goodwin et al, 2006;Charles et al, 2008).…”
