1 Introduction
Yagi, Tsuru, Tanaka (2013) used Habitat Evaluation Procedures (HEP) to evaluate the potential effects on Ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) habitats from removing the Arase and Setoishi dams on the Kuma River in Kumamoto, Japan. The researchers determined that HEP was very effective method for studying habitat changes on a representative specie in an ecosystem. This study used HEP to determine the potential effects of Kuma River dam removal projects on habitats of the IUCN-protected Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica). “Applying HEP to Evaluate Impacts of Kuma River Dam Removal Projects on Japanese Eel Populations” の続きを読む
