upstream migration hazard

'Aufstieg' here means upstream migration, not the physical act of leaping or jumping. 'Barrier' is okay, but again, one might argue that's more specific than Hindernis which could be anything in the way of an obstacle

"...to mitigate upstream migration hazards but not downstream hazards would undercut efforts to protect fishery resources adequately.."

fish barrier

neutral Frank van 't Hoog : A fish barrier is indeed an obstacle for fish to move upstream, but it is not specifically designed to stop them.

barrier that blocks the acces of fish

I doubt that there is a specific word for it. My suggestion is to paraphrase it.
Note from asker:
Thanks. Make sure to write "access" ;-)

some fish (notably salmon) finally return to their "birthplace" to spawn and then sadly die

they usually have to swim upstream and negotiate "leaps" to return to their spawning grounds so these barriers will prevent them from doing so
Note from asker:
Thank you, David. This sounds like the most likely answer so far.
That is true, Benjamin. There was not much context though.
Peer comment(s):
disagree Benjamin Outram : I think the 'Aufstieg' here relates to upstream, rather than leaping.
