| Description | Migration is important for many fish species, almost al species migrate to a certain extend when fulfilling their life cycle. In the highly managed and modified waterways in the Netherlands, fish may encounter many obstacles like weirs, dams, sluices and pumping stations. When swimming through the pump of a pumping station, fish may get damaged. How many fish are damaged, what types of damages and in how far type of pumping station is related to damages remains rather unclear. In recent years, fish have been collected downstream of pumping stations, identified, counted, and damages were recorded. This resulted in a number of reports from which data are available. A meta analyses of these data could be a topic of a thesis in cooperation with OAK consultants or as an internship at OAK consultants. |
