Risk classification of European lampreys and fish species

This publication characterises the potential impacts of hydropower on fish. After having analysed the species-specific sensitivity against mortality, i.e. the species’ intrinsic resilience, this study aimed to characterise the potential impacts of hydropower on fish. The main objective was to analyse the principal operation related impacts of hydropower and identify species most at risk. The results provide the operation related component or baseline for devel-oping a fish population hazard index for the European fish fauna. The resulting sensitivity matrix contains 148 native European fish and lamprey species.      «
