Technical reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which is not normally appropriate for primary literature. Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an...

The purpose of this report is to assess the water quality and aquatic ecosystem data gathered to date and to recommend water quality objectives specific to the Toboggan Creek watershed. Designated water uses, to be protected by water quality objectives, are...

This survey examines the amount of steelhead and coho that were harvested in 1995 and 1996 to compare trends in recreational fishing and salmon populations. This report is primarily presented in survey forms of Toboggan Creek.

This report provides general history of the Skeena River commercial salmon fishery from 1877 to 1948. The changes in fishing areas, seasons and fishing methods are described, together with the trends in the catches obtained.

The purpose of this study is to determine selective properties of nylon gillnet presently utilized in the Skeena river gillnet fishery, to relate selective properties and relative efficiency of nylon gear with linen gillnets, and to define the selective...

This report provides a chronological summary of a number of multi-faceted observer/monitoring programs that were conducted in the commercial approach fisheries to the Skeena River (primarily gillnet and seine fisheries in Areas 3 and 4) spanning the last...

This study provides a listing of individual stocks and their status classification for the entire Skeena system.

These habitat report cards were developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena salmon for migration, spawning, rearing and incubation, as well as their...

In 2005, the Skeena Fisheries Commission was retained by the Pacific Salmon Commission to conduct a Fish Passage and Culvert Inspection (FPCI) on all non-bridged stream crossings distinguished with fish presence along Highway #16 between Terrace and Prince...

This background report is a first step towards understanding the Skeena Basin linkages to PNCIMA, how they work, and how these factors integrate into larger planning efforts. The major emphasis is on presenting Skeena Basin First Nations information,...

Historical water quality data presented for the Skeena River watershed are divided into nine subsequent sections, corresponding to the nine major watershed reaches. Each section is divided into 6 subsections: hydrology, land use history, water withdrawals,...

This report builds on two earlier reports: The Evolution of Commercial Salmon Fishing in BC (Nelson and Turris 2004), and The Evolution of the Recreational Fishery in BC (Kristianson and Strongitharm 2006). This report specifically addresses the issue of...

Summer-run steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) returning to the Skeena River system were radio-tagged to determine their rates of movement through commercial salmon fisheries near the river mouth. The run timing of individual spawning population was also...

Fish Observation Data from GeoBC (October 2016) that is clipped to the Skeena Watershed.

This is the second in a series of three reports by the Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council (PFRCC) describing the Pacific salmon resource in British Columbia and Yukon, its current state, and the ability to assess and understand this important...

This working paper applies a previously-defined methodology for determining optimal harvest strategies in relation to uncertainty about stock production parameters and demonstrates the application of that procedure to pink salmon (odd year cycle) of the...

The purposes of this report are to review the development of the management of Skeena sockeye, to describe the current process of managing the Skeena sockeye fishery with emphasis on objective setting and in-season decision making, and to recommend...

This report discusses the trade-off fisheries managers are faced with that remains unresolved – how to reap the benefits from commercially valuable stocks while maintaining diversity essential for sustainability.

This report presents an economic snapshot of contemporary fisheries for Skeena salmon and steelhead.

This report briefly summarizes the findings of a five-year investigation of the salmon of the Skeena River system from 1944 to 1948.
