barrier
A barrier is a type of structure (physical, chemical, biological) that blocks the
migration
or spreading of
aquatic organisms
. Milltown Dam is an example of a physical structure that prevents the
migrations
of many of Montana's
native
species, including westslope cutthroat trout, bull trout, and largescale suckers. Natural barriers, such as waterfalls and streams that do not flow year-round, also block movements.
boulder
