AB  - The Hydro development started in the 1960swith building 3 major dams in the upstream section of the Sakarya River. Duringthe 1980s the development of the floodplain sections of the river had itsonset. Under these altered conditionsHuso huso, Acipenser nudiventris,andAcipenser sturiodisappeared from the river until the1980s but Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, as well asAcipenser stellatus,wereshown to still reproduce in the remaining section of the river by 2013. Theconstruction of three additional HEPPs begun in the river section belowPamukova, blocking migration and cutting off major spawning sites. While fishpassage facilities were included in the construction of the HEPPs since the1980s, their design and location, as well as the maintenance rendered themcompletely dysfunctional. A survey was carried out in the remaining freeflowing section of the lower river in 2014 to determine fish community composition andwater quality at 4 stations below Adasu HEPP. While a few A. gueldenstaedtiijuveniles were observed in Sakarya River mouth close to the Black Sea,onlyone young-of-the- (YOY) (A. stellatus; W:25g; TL:28cm) wasreported which was captured from the Lower Sakarya River.
