floodplains and reproduction areas, thus altering the natural state of the environment
(Figs. 7.5 and 7.6). Consequently, hydro-morphological alterations upon water bodies
hinder the migration of fishes, leading to a decline in natural spawning, a reduction in
biodiversity and species abundance, as well as changes in the composition of animal
populations. There is insufficient knowledge, both at a regional and at a European
