German term or phrase: Kompensationserfolg
" in tatsächlicher Hinsicht gewährleistet ist, dass die Fischaufstiegshilfe realisierbar ist und den prognostizierten Kompensationserfolg bewirken wird,"

The context is a reference to the German Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG).

We suspect that Kompensationserfolg has a technical meaning, but cannot be sure what it is.

We thank you in advance for any suggestions.
