This paper presents a short review of some recent advances in fishway technology such as new types of fishways and new data on velocities in fishways and on fish swimming ability. It also includes new concepts such as maintaining a fishway's effectiveness in high water stages and the need to offer equal opportunity for successful migration to all diadromous migrants.
