This paper proposes a simple mathematical model forupstream fish migration along rivers. The model describes the fish migration along a river based on a mixed optimal control approach having swimming velocity, school size, and stopping time of migration as control variables. The optimization problem reduces to a variational inequality. Its explicit “viscosity” solution is presented with the dependence of the fish migration on river environment. To prove uniqueness of the solution to the…

It is shown that the HJB equation has a unique viscosity solution and that the solution can be approximated with a finite difference scheme.

### A stochastic differential game approach toward animal migration

This paper theoretically suggests that the sub-additivity of the performance index, the index to be optimized through the migration, critically affects the resulting strategy, and the computational results with the established scheme are consistent with the theoretical predictions and support importance of the sub theadditivity property.

A key result of this study is that the fish density in certain stationary states reaches values where each fish perceives each other; local interactions actually become global interactions.

This paper extends theory of shoaling presented by Landa (1998), which uses the economic theory of clubs (Buchanan 1965). The findings include that non-patchy feeding shoals formed for defense

It is found that the dam cascade will have serious combined effects on fishes mainly due to impoundment, habitat fragmentation and blocking, flow regime modification, and hypolimnetic discharges, and three countermeasures hold promise to mitigate the near-term effects.
