This analysis demonstrates the impact of pump stations on eel movements and highlights risks of entrainment for yellow eels.

Eel activity peaks at dusk and during warmer months, indicating clear seasonal patterns.
Among 12,000 encounters, 42% involved avoidance of the bypass while 58% resulted in obstruction at the pump.
Entrainment of yellow eels was observed during winter and spring when pumps were more frequently operational.
The design and management of pump stations must prioritize bidirectional eel movements for better connectivity.

Mahlum et al. (2025) studied this question.
