“…These multispecies and multistage characteristics imply that the fishways have to be efficient throughout the seasons for species with various swimming and leaping capacities, as well as different motivational states to migrate. It is thus crucial to improve the design of the fishway and to collect data from a wide range of structures typologies, in a wide variety of rivers and regions in order to find successful and more integrative solutions for the future (Cook & Hinch, ; Kemp, ; Ovidio et al, ). Studies on passage efficiency (percentage of fish present that entered and successfully moved through a fishway) have increased in the past 10 years, and efforts have been made more recently to focus on non‐commercial species such as rheophilic cyprinids (Alexandre et al, ; Branco, Santos, Katopodis, Pinheiro, & Ferreira, ; Sanz‐Ronda et al, ; Silva, Santos, Ferreira, Pinheiro, & Katopodis, and Silva, Santos, Ferreira, Pinheiro, & Katopodis, ).…”
