Impact of the construction of a dam and spur dikes on the hydraulic habitat of Megalobrama terminalis spawning sites: A case study in the Beijiang River (China) by Xiyan Yang, Shanghong Zhang, Wenda Li, Caihong Tang, Jin Zhang, Sebastian Schwindt, Silke Wieprecht, Taiwei Wang

“…The spur dikes and a dam (RC = 21.94 %) resulted in a more significant improvement effect on the habitat conditions than the spur dikes without a dam (RC = 5.84 %). The dam and spur dikes in combination resulted in better outcomes regarding hydraulic habitat conditions than spur dikes alone, and the spur dikes reduce the ecological stress caused by the dam. …”
