Hydropeaking impact assessment for Iberian cyprinids and leuciscids: An adaptat...
Godinho, F.N.; Alexandre, C.; Almeida, P.R.; Martínez-Capel, F.; Cortes, R.M.V; Quintella, B.R.; Sanz-Ronda, J.; Santos, J.M.; Palau, A.; Pinheiro, A.N.Hydropeaking negatively affects fish assemblages, but knowledge gaps still constrain our ability to rank and mitigate the impacts of different hydropower operation regimes at particular power plants. This is especially relevant for species and rivers for which the effects of hydropeaking are less investigated, such as the Iberian Cypriniformes and Mediterranean rivers. Recognizing the potential of the hydropeak...
Technologies for the study of hydropeaking impacts on fish populations: Applica...
Alexandre, C.M.; Quintella, B.R.; Ovidio, J.; Boavida, I.; Costa, M.J.; Palstra, A.P.; Lima, R.L.P.; Lima, M.I.P; Almeida, P.R.Dam construction and streamflow regulation are increasing throughout the world, with impacts in impounded aquatic ecosystems. Hydropower dams, some of them causing a phenomenon called “hydropeaking” during their operation, are known for having a variety of impacts on downstream aquatic biota, particularly fish, and respective habitat. This can result in significant changes, from the community (e.g., fish assemb...

Fish under pressure: examining behavioural responses of Iberian barbel under si...
Costa, M.J.; Fuentes-Pérez, J.F.; Boavida, I.; Tuhtan, J.A.; Pinheiro, A.N.Hydropeaking is the rapid change in the water flow downstream of a hydropower plant, driven by changes in daily electricity demand. These fluctuations may produce negative effects in freshwater fish. To minimize these impacts, previous studies have proposed habitat enhancement structures as potential mitigation measures for salmonids. However, the recommendation of these mitigation measures for cyprinids remain...
