Holland, L., D. Huff, S. Littlejohn and R. Jacobson (1984). Analysis of existing information on adult fish movements through dams on the Upper Mississippi River. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Fisheries Research Laboratory, U.S. Government Report 84(14):37.

This report provides input towards the completion of the final feasibility report and draft Environmental Impact Statements for hydropower development at Locks and Dams 5 and 8 of the Upper Mississippi River (UMR), scheduled for completion by September 1985. This report has the following objective: to compile, review, and analyze existing information on movements of adult fish through dams on the UMR from St. Anthony Falls to Lock and Dam 14. Secondary objectives include (1) identification of information gaps about adult fish movements and UMR fisheries in general that would prevent an accurate assessment of the impacts of small-scale hydropower development on UMR fisheries; and (2) identification of impact assessment techniques, approaches, and methods for obtaining the necessary data for an assessment of the impacts of small-scale hydropower development on UMR fisheries. This report provides pool-by-pool reporting of available adult fish movement information and makes recommendations on representative, important fish species for future studies.
