Swimming Upstream Without a Ladder: Dams and Pipes and River Shrimp Movements (Spanish)
Tropical streams provide many benefits to people and animals. For river shrimp that spend part of their life in the mountain streams, the streams provide a place to reproduce and develop. River shrimp are important to the streams as well. Tropical streams also provide people with the fresh water they need for drinking, cooking, and washing. To provide water for people, small dams are often built in tropical streams. The scientists in this study want to know how to protect shrimp in areas where people take water from streams.
