Worldwide, rivers are extensively fragmented by anthropogenic structures, reducing longitudinal connectivity, inhibiting migration and leading to severe declines in many fish populations, especially for diadromous species. However, few studies have d... Read More about Catchment-wide interactive effects of anthropogenic structures and river levels on fish spawning migrations.

Seascape genomics reveals limited dispersal and suggests spatially varying selection among European populations of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) (2023)
Journal Article
Baltazar-Soares, M., Britton, J. R., Pinder, A., Harrison, A. J., Nunn, A. D., Quintella, B. R., Mateus, C. S., Bolland, J. D., Dodd, J. R., Almeida, P. R., Dominguez Almela, V., & Andreou, D.

Evolutionary Applications, 16(6), 1169-1183. https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.13561

Sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus is an anadromous and semelparous fish without homing behaviors. Despite being a freshwater, free-living organism for a large part of their life cycle, its adulthood is spent as a parasite of marine vertebrates. In their...

In this paper, the adsorption of the chlorinated organic compound, 2,4-dichlorophenol, using activated carbon (AC), bagasse fly ash (BFA) and rice husk fly ash (RHFA) in a packed bed column was simulated using Aspen Adsorption software. The purpose o... Read More about Comparison of activated carbon and low-cost adsorbents for removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol from wastewater using Aspen Adsorption and response surface methodology.

The influence of passive wedge-wire screen aperture and flow velocity on juvenile European eel exclusion, impingement and passage (2023)
Journal Article
Carter, L. J., Collier, S. J., Thomas, R. E., Norman, J., Wright, R. M., & Bolland, J. D. (2023). The influence of passive wedge-wire screen aperture and flow velocity on juvenile European eel exclusion, impingement and passage. Ecological engineering, 192, Article 106972. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2023.106972

The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a critically endangered catadromous fish. The decline has partly been attributed to water management infrastructure that abstract water from rivers for potable and industrial water supply, irrigation, hydroelec...
