N2 - Freshwater fi sh communities have always been valuable resourcesfor society, particularly the species that migrate betweenfreshwater and the sea. Historically, eel, salmon and trout wereso abundant that good fi shing luck could turn a capable fi shermaninto a wealthy person. Unfortunately, migrating fi sh becamethreatened by over-fi shing quite early in human history. Themore recent construction of dams and other habitat destructionassociated with development of towns, industries and intensiveagriculture have reduced populations further. The largest Danishriver, the River Gudenå, illustrates this historical decline andalso the diffi culty of re-establishing healthy fi sh communitiesonce the original populations have deteriorated or, in the case ofsalmon, become extinct. Efforts are currently needed to be madeto effectively restore and manage fi sh communities in streams.
