AB Fishways design requires careful evaluation of hydraulic and biological requirements. This study presents aEulerian-Lagrangian Agent Based Model of fish migration through Vertical Slot Fishways which relies on 2D flowsimulations. The model, provided as a Python toolbox named t-ELAM-acPy_2D, integrates two-dimensional flowfields with an agent-based description of fish movement and behavior. t-ELAM-acPy_2D represents fish upstreammovement using multiple behavioral states, including resting responses, a key element for cyprinid movement.The model also performs an energy-expenditure analysis, using a real-time, dynamic flow field. It was calibratedand validated across different fishway configurations, using Iberian barbel (Luciobarbus bocagei) as fish targetedspecies. The model successfully reproduced fish habitat spatial distribution, ascent times and, to a limited extent,passage efficiency. The results show that the toolbox can efficiently support design, optimization, and evaluationof different fishway configurations.
