Estimating the Abundance of Adult Steelhead in the Babine River Using Mark Re...
A mark recapture study was conducted by angling on the upper 20 kilometers of the Babine River in an attempt to estimate the abundance of overwintering adult steelhead. The initial tagging was conducted by fisheries staff and volunteers during the 1992... -
Babine River Steelhead, 1993/94: Population Estimate and Weir Assessment
This steelhead study included a population estimate of the upper Babine River and a trial operation of the Babine River Weir for future enumeration of the upper Babine and Boucher Creek populations. A mark/recapture study was conducted to assess the 1993/94... -
A Survey of Upper Babine River Steelhead Anglers during the Classified Waters...
The Babine River of the Skeena Region is well known for providing a high quality steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) recreational fishery. In 1990, the province of B.C. implemented a classified waters system to protect such high quality angling experiences on... -
Upper Skeena Steelhead Fry Population Monitoring
Juvenile fish sampling was conducted in the Upper Skeena area. Objectives included: to collect basic inventory data on juvenile steelhead in some "unknown" areas and to annually monitor steelhead fry recruitment where possible. The following report presents... -
Report of the Skeena Independent Science Review Panel
The Panel’s report is divided into five major topic areas: (1) the fish and the fisheries, (2) habitat status and protection, (3) critical monitoring needs for future management, (4) governance, and (5) recommendations. -
Radio Telemetry Investigations of Babine River Steelhead, Spring 1990
The Babine River ranks as one of the best wild steelhead rivers in the world. It is one of British Columbia's five Class I rivers; streams with this classification offer extremely valuable wilderness fishing opportunities. Despite the world-class status of... -

This document presents an assessment of the status of coho salmon (Onchorhynchus kisutch) in the Canadian northern boundary areas with emphasis on the Skeena River. The content of this assessment has largely been drawn from published assessments. There are... -
Movements of Wild Summer Run Steelhead Tagged with Radio Transmitters in the ...
Radio telemetry was used for the second consecutive migration year to determine the proportion of wild, Babine River adult summer run steelhead migrating through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' enumeration weir, near the outlet of Nilkitkwa Lake.... -
Movements of Babine River Summer Run Steelhead Tagged with Surgically and Gas...
The primary purpose of this investigation was to assess whether fish behavior differed between the two implementation times and methodologies. The secondary objectives were to document steelhead movements, including those in the vicinity of the Department... -
Fish Passage Culvert Inspections
This project was implemented to assess fish passage at culvert-bearing stream crossings. These assessments were carried out at culvert crossings installed on fish-bearing streams on roads primarily constructed prior to the implementation of the Forest... -
Catalogue of Salmon Streams and Spawning Escapements of Statistical Area 4 (U...
This resource from Ecocat is a catalogue containing each stream's location, spawning distribution, barriers and points of difficult ascent, escapement records, and other general data pertaining to the stream. The catalogue also includes a topographical map... -
Biological Assessment of Skeena River Coho Salmon
This paper provides data on juvenile densities throughout the Skeena watershed in the year following record low escapements and documents the responses in escapement to the conservation measures taken in 1998. For the Babine Lake coho aggregate, advice is... -
Babine Steelhead - A Future
The project was designed to capture wild juveniles of these species during or before their seaward migration, and mark them by inserting a coded wire tag in their snout and removing the adipose fin. The marked fish would then be released. In this manner,... -
An Estimate of the Number of Steelhead Trout Spawning in Basins River Near Ba...
The purpose of this study was to estimate the size of the spawning population of steelhead trout in Babine River, a tributary of the Skeena River located in West Central B.C.
