To assess the impacts of hydropower plants on fish species more effectively, a fish species classification system has been developed. The compiled metadata overview comprises 192 fish and lamprey species that are classified according to their sensitivity against mortality. The result allows for an objective and comprehensible comparison of the inherent biological sensitivity of fish and lamprey species and identified in total 40 taxa of high susceptibility to disturbance covering all biogeographic regions of Europe.     «
