“Rivers are critical resources that affect everything from watersheds to agriculture to energy. But rivers, in turn, have been impacted by humans, often in the form of hydraulic infrastructure such as dams and wells.
A new [Cornell] project… will create a global record that shows how river systems around the world have changed under human influence over the last 75 years…”

Freshwater fish populations plunge 81% as river migrations collapse
A sweeping global report finds that migratory freshwater fish are in steep decline, with populations down roughly 81% since 1970. These species depend on long, connected rivers, but dams and human pressures are cutting off their routes. Hundreds of species now need coordinated international protection. Experts say restoring river connectivity is critical to preventing further collapse.

325 Long-neglected migratory freshwater fish species need protection now: Report
CAMPO GRANDE, Brazil — In the wide, sandy stretches of Brazil’s Araguaia River, the piraĂba, South America’s largest catfish, is a cornerstone of local fisheries. Fishers often recognize individual fish by markings and scars, catching the same fish in the same places over time, leading many to believe the species did not move very far. […]

Kenneth De Baets🌊 Habitat #debate: Most austrolimulid occurrences are near shallow marine areas (or at least areas with #marine influence) and together with their wide distribution, challenge the idea they lived in fully #freshwater environments. This new material adds to the growing picture of #xiphosurid diversity and evolution in the early #Mesozoic.

"Such #fish #migrations happen in #rivers across the world - #salmon & #eels are more familiar examples - but many are rapidly collapsing, according to the most comprehensive assessment to date. The analysis, by the UN’s convention on the conservation of migratory species (CMS)... found #freshwater fish #populations #worldwide have crashed by about 81% since 1970."
