A weir installed along a river cross-section potentially serves as a physical barrier that prevents fishes from migrating toward upstream. Many rivers in the world encounter this severe and ubiquitous ecological issue. The objective of this paper is to present a biophysical application of stochastic control theory to upstream fish migration in river reaches where movements of individual fishes are considered as horizontally 2-D controlled processes. Identifying the biological and ecological objective function to be maximized with the dynamic programming principle leads to a 2-D nonlinear elliptic equation referred to as the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman Equation (HJBE). Solving the HJBE leads to an optimal swimming velocity field of individual fishes in water flows. Utilizing appropriate differential equations associated with the HJBE enables us to efficiently and consistently compute attraction ability of fishways installed at a weir from a statistical viewpoint. An application of the present mathematical model to upstream migration of juvenilePlecoglossus altivelis(Ayu) around a recently renovated weir in Hii River, San-in area, Japan is carried out in order to assess attraction ability of its associated fishways.
