Abstract

Today most german rivers are flow regulated by dams. They form a barrier for migrating fish species like salmon and are one cause for sustainable disturbances of the ecosystem even to extinction of several fish species. Our question is how to distribute financial resources to improve fish passage systems to obtain a maximal effect. We present a concept to model up- and downstream fish migration with an individual based approach. It allows us to test different strategies of resource distribution. We give an example modelling a part of the river Moselle in Germany and discuss further extensions.
