Using 17 years of data, the researchers developed an algorithm to predict fishery yields from river flow and used it to design an ideal flow regime that would provide ample water for hydropower and also support the fishery. The result is a management strategy which may actually increase fishery yields in the Mekong River and other tropical rivers facing similar pressures worldwide.
