Summary Description em.detail.summaryDescriptionHelp ?	Maintenance and restoration activities alter the river morphology and hydrology, and in consequence, alter fish habitats. The aim of this research was to investigate the change of habitat availability for fish guilds after carrying out maintenance works, commonly used river restoration measures and a restoration derived from fish habitat requirements. The selected study site is located at a close to natural condition section of Swider River in central Poland. The MesoHABSIM model was used to assess the area of suitable habitats in this site and predict habitat distribution at all planning scenarios. The affinity index which is a measure of similarity of two distributions showed that the likely distribution of habitats for fish resulting from simulated maintenance is 76.5% similar to that under measured conditions. The distribution of habitats caused by river restoration is also similar to that of the baseline in 73.2%. The resemblance between the restoration scenario focusing on fish habitat requirements and the reference conditions is 93.1%. It is beneficial to define the river restoration measures based on habitat availability for fish community. Modelling is a useful tool to simulate the changes and predict which guilds there is abundance of suitable habitats, and for which there are too few. It allows for more effective use of resources according to quantitative target states.	*	*	*
