In this study a new technology of fish habitat block (fish block) was developed to restore the destroyed fish habitats in reservoirs and streams. In addition, we introduced some case studies applied the developed fish block to channel, stream, and dam reservoir. In case of channel and stream with straight and simple riverbed, the application of the fish block provided various habitats by changing the flow distribution, inducing the circumstance of erosion and sedimentation. Furthermore, the zigzag arrangement of the fish blocks created the various riverbed and resulted in increase of the species diversity of benthos. On the other hand, in Korean dam reservoirs, a wide range of water level fluctuations suppresses the development of a macrophyte community, and as a result, a spawning ground and habitat of fish are lack. We installed the fish blocks to shore of reservoir, by considering the annual variation of water level and various habitat of fish species. The installed fish blocks will play a role as a good habitat in the destroyed reservoir ecosystems |
