TL;DR: To achieve true sustainability, assessments of new projects must go beyond local impacts by accounting for synergies with existing dams, as well as land cover changes and likely climatic shifts, and call for more sophisticated and holistic hydropower planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dams and the fish fauna of the Neotropical region: impacts and management related to diversity and fisheries.
TL;DR: The relevance and the success of the management actions taken are argued and some suggestions to improve conservation of the ichthyofauna in South American basins influenced by dams are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large reservoirs as ecological barriers to downstream movements of Neotropical migratory fish
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that large reservoirs impose a different kind of barrier to migrating fish: impoundments create a diffuse gradient of hydraulic/limnological conditions that affects fish behaviour and functions as an extensive environmental filter that discourages downstream movements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fish‐Passage Facilities as Ecological Traps in Large Neotropical Rivers
TL;DR: If passages work as ecological traps, regional fisheries will be in danger of collapse and conservation policies toward biodiversity will become more difficult and ineffective.
