27 Conclusions Attraction efficiency of Coimbra fishwayfor sea lamprey is mainly conditioned by flow and temperature; It is possible to improve the attractiveness of the fishway through flow regulation (3 large dams upstream) during a certain period of the spawning migration (water reach C temperature) and night period; Passage efficiency can be improved but 30% was enough to promote a 38x increment in ammocoeteabundance in the upstream stretch.
