- Abstract: Hydrological connectivity is a basic feature of river ecosystems, responsible for important ecological processes. Human activities, however, have progressively modified natural connectivity, threatening the maintenance of aquatic biodiversity.Neotropical potamodromous fish depend heavily on fluvial connectivity to complete their life cycles. However, important ecological aspects remain poorly understood, especially in river systems with limited floodplain development (i.e. channelized rivers and drylands), where the environment poses constraints to fish recruitment. The Uruguay River Basin is such a system, with several migratory fish, small floodplain areas, and limited information about recruitment dynamics and nursery grounds.The lack of information on critical habitats limits conservation and management actions, especially in scenarios of increasing environmental degradation and river regulation. This study investigated recruitment dynamics of migratory fishes in the Middle Uruguay River, a long fluvial segment targeted for hydropower development. The study investigated spatial variations in the abundance, composition and size structure of juvenile fish among different sites along an extensive fluvial gradient (ca. 650 km), comparing the main channel with tributaries.Juveniles of migratory fish were widely distributed in the region, totalling nine species, with a predominance of Characiformes. Spatial distribution was variable among species and size classes, with a differential use of tributaries, wetlands and the main channel. Juvenile composition differed between sampling sites and environments, and was correlated with different limnological and spatial variables. Greater abundances occurred in the mouth of a tributary where a small floodplain develops during the wet season.The results emphasize the importance of fluvial connectivity for fish migration, dispersal and recruitment, providing valuable information about migratory fishes in river systems with limited wetland development. These findings have significance for the management and conservation of migratory fish under scenarios of hydropower expansion, as comprehensive studies on recruitment are rare in free‐flowing rivers.
