This record is the continuation of a pilot project undertaken in the Central Coast (Areas 6-7-8-9-10) during the 1983, 1984, and 1985 salmon seasons. It was designed as an in-season management tool and as a record of the fishery and of the management... -
Skeena River Steelhead Stock- Assessment Program: 1994 Catch and Escapement M...
During 1994, a large scale stock-assessment program was implemented to determine the status of steelhead and coho populations in the Skeena River. Catches in commercial fisheries were to be monitored by means of a fishery observer program. Escapements were... -
Skeena River Steelhead Stock Assessment Program: Estimation of the 1994 Comme...
The 1994 steelhead catches in the commercial fishery of Area 4 were estimated by reference to the steelhead:sockeye ratio from observer records, and adjusted hail reports. The estimates obtained indicated that approximately 8494 steelhead were caught in... -

Timing of Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Stocks in the North-coast Commercial Fis...
Approximate timing of Babine Lake stocks in the fishing area has been shown by tagging there and in the Skeena River estuary, and recovering tagged fish on Babine Lake spawning grounds (see Takagi and Smith MS 1973 for a summary). However, mixing with other... -

Times of Passage of Skeena River Sockeye and Pink Salmon Through the Commerci...
The purpose of this report is to review the information presently available, which bears on the times of passage of the various Skeena sockeye and pink salmon stocks through the commercial fishing area. Also, it is hoped that some of this information may... -
Chinook Salmon in the North Coastal Division
Concern over the status of chinook salmon on the Pacific Coast, and particularly in the north (Fig. 1), has become more prevalent in recent years due to an apparent decline in stock size. This concern emphasizes the need for better conservation, improved... -
The Migration Times of the Skeena River Sockeye Runs Through the Estuary as I...
During the years from 1944 to 1948, inclusive, and during 1955, sockeye salmon were tagged in the estuary of the Skeena River partly to determine whether there is any segregation of populations destined to the various tributary lakes in point of time of... -
