Fish conservation and sustainability in rivers implies: Interplay between fish (endogenous factors: motivation, physiology, fish life stage, species, size....) and the enviroment (exogenous factors: hydraulics, temperature, light, pH, oxygen, flow....) Multidisciplinary approach : Biology, Ecology, Physiology, Biomechanics, Fish behaviour, Hydraulics, Neurobiology Hydrology, Economy, Sociology

Hydropower v.s Fish Conservation 96% of all electric power production in Norway comes from hydropower. Hydropower infrastructure and discharge schemes have caused the reduction and even extinction of numerous Atlantic salmon populations in Europe. ( Fjeldstad et al. 2012, Journal of Fish Biology ) Hydropower developments have led to a drop in wild salmon production in Norway’s salmon rivers, and are a critical pressure on salmon stocks in 110 of a total of 481 salmon rivers. ( Norwegian Environment Agency )

What's the aim of my PhD/Post-Doc? What is the context and the content of my work? How is my work innovative compared to existing methods/solutions? How can my work be implemented and used later on?

Integrates a multidisciplinary approach to study the impact of antrophogenic activity on fish populations aiming to improve fish sustainability Uses new technology to reveal relationships between hydraulics and fish behaviour in 3D.

What's the aim of my PhD/Post-Doc? What is the context and the content of my work? How is my work innovative compared to existing methods/solutions? How can my work be implemented and used later on?

My work can be implemented in new hydropower constructions, or it can be used to improve existent hydropower facilities, improving fish conservation status and sustainability in regulated rivers with minimum loss of energy production and financial expenditures Ultimately, my work will help to ensure the sustainability of different fish species of high economical and recreational value
