This systematic review aims to clarify, from the existing literature, how fish abundance and diversity are impacted by alterations in flow magnitude due to hydropower production. This systematic review will compile evidence, provide insight into the current state of knowledge, and highlight research needs. The results of this review will help to better inform decisions in water resource and fisheries management.
