Abstract
Abstract Immigration of catadromous anguillid eels into fresh water can be impeded by barriers such as barrages, weirs and dams. The uses of passes and trap‐and‐transport systems to enhance recruitment are reviewed. Pre‐construction studies of the needs for passes and traps are discussed in relation to key biological and hydraulic management criteria. Recommendations for pass and trap designs and placement are made in the context of site‐specific biotic and abiotic factors. Reference is made to experience gained from eel passes and trapping systems in use throughout the world, and to experimental and pre‐and post‐construction monitoring studies. Practical recommendations are made for the design and use of eel passes and traps for monitoring studies and for trap‐and‐transport stocking.
