Impacts of low-head hydropower plants on cyprinid-dominated fish assemblages in Lithuanian rivers

Abstract The meso-scale habitat simulation model MesoHABSIM was applied in three Lithuanian lowland rivers to study the effect of low-head hydropower plants (HPPs) on the fish habitats. Stream flow time series on a daily scale for the period 1970–2015 were used to describe flow regime downstream of...
