CGL2012-34688) and thank the CITEEC (Centro de Innovación Tecnolóxica en Edificación e Enxeñería Civil) of the University of A Coruña and the Center for Hydrographic Studies of CEDEX for their ongoing collaboration in this research field. Finally, the authors want to thank the three anonymous reviewers for their comments and suggestions that improved this manuscript. The Iberian barbel (Luciobarbus bocagei) is one of the most common cyprinids in the Iberian Peninsula, whose migratory routes are often hampered by anthropogenic barriers. Fishways might be an effective mitigation measure if they integrate designed operational characteristics that account for the biomechanical requirements of this species. Understanding the flow conditions inside the fishway, and how barbel responds to the hydrodynamics of the flow is imperative to improve free migratory routes with minimum energetic cost associated. Herein, we analyze and synthesize the main findings of research on pool-type fishways for upstream passage of the Iberian barbel and derive recommendations of design criteria for pool-type fishways for this species and others of similar biomechanics capacities. Ultimately, we identify research needs to improve upstream passage of this species. 2020-06-15T12:20:49Z 2020-06-15T12:20:49Z 2020-04 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Silva, A.
