Cover Story: This study aimed to assess the seasonal and size-related microhabitat use by native fish above and below small hydropower plants (SHPP). For this, fish were sampled using a modified point electrofishing procedure, and a multivariate approach was used to analyze microhabitat use and availability data from sites located upstream (reference) and downstream (disturbed) from two SHPPs in northeast Portugal. The results showed negligible differences in fish microhabitat use between downstream SHPP and upstream reference sites. The cover might have had a significant role in tempering the effects of detrimental environmental conditions, namely, peaking flows, by providing hydraulic shelter, highlighting the need to maintain riparian vegetation strips and submerged aquatic macrophytes, as well as the provision of coarse substrate that can be critical for fish. View this paper
