Ecological flow is understood as the minimum flow for the survival of the species in a given study area. With respect to this, the present work aims to determine the ecological flows of the Paltic River with the Instantaneous Incremental Flow Methodology (IFIM) and the Physical Habitat Simulation software (PHABSIM). Likewise, rainbow trout was chosen for the evaluation. The software requests different data such as coordinates, velocities, slope, Manning coefficient, etc. Therefore, a visit to the study area had to be made. In addition, a technical file was used to acquire the topographic coordinates. Also, suitability curves had to be developed for 4 parameters: velocity, depth, channel index and temperature. The suitability curves were obtained from field observations and technical documents. Once all the elements were acquired, the water surface levels were simulated with the STGQ model and velocities. In this way, the Weighted Useful Area (WUA) and the HABTAE model are obtained. The first result shows the ecological flow rates for each stage of the rainbow trout: 0.4 m3/s and 2.5 m3/s for the fry, 0.4 m3/s and 2.0 m3/s for the juvenile, and 0.4 m3/s and 2.0 m3/s for the adult. The second result identifies the areas suitable for the existence and survival of the chosen species: for all the proposed flow rates there is an optimal habitat
