Klimatförändringarnas påverkan på juvenila laxfiskars vinteröverlevnad och tillväxt i ett korttidsreglerat vattendrag
Already within 10-20 years, the average temperature risks exceeding the 1.5 degree target limit and we can expect more extreme weather in the form of increased precipitation. Hydropower plants hinder the possibility of freshwater species to migrate between for example their spawning grounds and rear...

Already within 10-20 years, the average temperature risks exceeding the 1.5 degree target limit and we can expect more extreme weather in the form of increased precipitation. Hydropower plants hinder the possibility of freshwater species to migrate between for example their spawning grounds and rearing habitat. This effect is a contributing factor to the fact that populations of migrating freshwater species have decreased by 93% in Europe. The purpose of this study is to investigate overwinter growth and survival of juvenile brown trout and Atlantic salmon in a hydropeaking river which is affected by a future climate change. In this study, juvenile brown trout and Atlantic salmon in the river Gullspång were investigated using simulations in an agent-based model (inSTREAM 7-SD).
