The construction of fishways ensures free passage around natural or man-made barriers. Construction and maintenance of fish passes represents one of the most important ways of preserving wild fish populations. The survey contains 183 references and deals with all the basic types of fishways described in the literature. The information has been selected in the light of its potential relevance in the Nordic countries. Eight basic types of fishways may be identified and are descibed in the document: weir fishways, Denil fishways, vertical slot fishways, fish locks and elevators, culvert fishways, channels, fishways for juveniles migrating upstream, bypasses.
