This report determines the timing of sockeye, spring and coho migration leaving Morice Lake, the population size of sockeye smolts leaving Morice Lake, and the length weight, age and scale characteristics of the sockeye migrants.

The objective of this report is to present a concise distillation and elaboration where necessary, of the existing knowledge, studies and reports related to fish, fish habitat, other aquatic resources, riparian management, and generally factors related to...

The study area is located in the Bulkley River drainage (watershed code 460) of the Skeena River watershed in north-central British Columbia (Figure 1). Selected streams in the area were inventoried for stream classification under the Forest Practices Code...

The Owen Creek watershed was initially surveyed in June, July and August 1998 by Dave Bustard and Associates to assess fish habitat characteristics and to investigate the diversity, population characteristics and distribution of fish. SKR Consultants Ltd....

This project is part of the joint Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and BC Ministry of Environment program to reduce the incidental interception of steelhead bound for the Skeena River by 50%. Monitoring of key Skeena steelhead stocks will be...

An aquatic stream inventory was conducted in the Thautil River Watershed in the Morice Forest District during the summer and fall of 1996. This report presents an overview of the key results of the fish and habitat sampling program including fish...

The major emphasis of the study was to provide a broad-based aquatic inventory at an operational and landscape level to facilitate planning for forest development that minimizes impacts on the aquatic resources of the watershed. Emphasis was placed on...

Juvenile salmonid populations in two tributary streams to the Morice River system, Owen and Lamprey Creeks, were assessed by the Fish Habitat Improvement Section in the fall of 1980. Objectives were directed at steelhead enhancement opportunities in the two...

The purpose of this report is to provide an indication of the net economic value of the fisheries stocks in the Bulkley river system. This is done by assessing current and future values of recreational, commercial and, to some degree, Indigenous fishing...

The report presents the results of a reconnaissance level “Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory” of West Julian Holland Lake 460-6006-508-005-283-218-502-01 performed to the current standards provided by the Resources Inventory Committee (RIC). West Julian...

The primary focus of the "Toboggan Creek Smolt Project" is to estimate the number of wild coho (0. kisutch) smolts leaving Toboggan Creek. Initiated in the spring of 1995, the study aimed to estimate wild coho populations of Toboggan Creek by comparison...

This paper presents data collected during a creel census conducted in the years 1978 and 1979, and includes information on angler harvest and success, and life histories of Zymoetz-Clore steelhead.

This survey is an analysis of the recreational fishing activities of Bulkley River steelhead. Proportions of angler and non-angler residents are presented, and effort and catch analyses are made. Recommendations are presented to evaluate the accuracy and...

In 1999, the Ministry of Environment, Lands, and Parks surveyed portions of the Upper Skeena River and Kispiox Rivers during September 1999 for juvenile steelhead and fry and parr abundance. This report summarizes the results of those surveys and provides a...

Annual reports for Upper Bulkley River assessments at the Bulkley River Coho Assessment Fence approximately 6km upstream from the Upper Bulkley Morice confluence. Information collected includes fish species, number of individuals, and composition of wild...

This report has been prepared primarily to describe the fisheries problems associated with a large scale logging operation proposed for the system and to outline certain proposals which are considered necessary for the protection of the salmon resource of...

This survey provides an assessment of fish presence/absence in Fenton Creek and its adjacent tributaries. It identifies stream gradients and reasons for obstructed fish passage, and identifies key habitat features that require special management attention....

Stock monitoring was conducted at several locations in the Bulkley/Morice system by Regional staff in 1984 and 1985. Many areas were sampled for the first time, and others were repeat (annual) sample sites. Stream-specific data are appended to this general...

The purpose of this report is to present the known history of sockeye production data, the biological and management information available, enhancement requirements, and potential techniques for the restoration of Morice-Nanika sockeye.

The objectives of this study were to conduct fish and fish habitat inventories, using 1:20,000 scale maps, to classify stream reaches within or adjacent to proposed timber harvesting areas as per Forest Practises Code regulations. The information in each...
