1985 salmon history and record of management strategies area 4
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... -
Diel Vertical Movements and Feeding Habits of Underyearling Sockeye Salmon (O...
Sockeye underyearlings at Babine Lake. B.C. were observed to undergo diel vertical movement from July through to October 1967. This movement was more pronounced in August when the lake was most distinctly thermally stratified. The presence of a sharp... -
Orientation Differences Between Populations of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon
British Columbia's Babine Lake system has three populations of sockeye salmon smolts which travel different routes to the outlet on their seaward migration. The objective of this study was to determine if the directional preferences of these populations are... -
Assessment of Wild Steelhead Abundance Trends in British Columbia (1967/68-19...
Intra-regional similarities and inter-regional differences in wild steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) abundance patterns over time throughout British Columbia were identified using Catch-per-Angler-Day (CpAD) as an index of abundance of wild in-river adult... -

Adult and juvenile coho migrations were monitored at Zolzap Creek, British Columbia, as part of the 2002-2003 Nisga'a Fisheries Program. The 2002 season is the eleventh year of continuous operation of the Zolzap Creek fences since 1992. This report includes... -
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... -
Update Assessment of Sockeye Salmon Production from Babine Lake, British Colu...
Wood et al. (1998) provided the last formal assessment of sockeye production from Babine Lake using production data spanning the 1950-1996 return years (1950-1991 brood years). This update adds 14 more years to the data series (1950-2010 return years,... -

Trends in abundance and pre-season 2000 stock size forecasts for major sockeye, pink, and chum salmon stocks in the central coast and selected salmon stocks in Northern British Columbia, statistical areas 1-10. The recommended forecasts are based on simple... -
Toboggan Creek Coho Smolt Enumerations
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... -
The status of the Nanika River Sockeye Rehabilitation Program 1960-1965
The Nanika River, which drains into Morice Lake, is the most valuable sockeye spawning stream in the Bulkley River system. The available data indicate that the pre-1954 escapements ranged within the general magnitude of 20,000 and 70,000 fish annually.... -
The Age, Size, and Sex Composition of Sockeye in the Escapements to Shculbuck...
For many years, estimates of the abundance of the spawning stock of sockeye salmon to Lakelse Lake have been made and recorded in the Confidential Annual Reports of the Fisheries Research Board, Biological Station, Nanaimo. During the years 1944-1956 and... -
Summary of Salmon Enumeration of Sampling Data, Babine River, 1961-1966 Count...
In 1945 and 1946 the Fisheries Research Board of Canada built a counting fence to permit total counts of all salmon species. Arc (1961) has discussed the location and construction of the fence and the counting and sampling procedures which were used to... -

Some Aspects of Food and Growth of Fish Species in Babine Lake
Food preferences and growth rates of various fish species in Babine Lake were analyzed. Kokanee fed primarily on plankton and insects, with no fish recorded in the diet. Insects were generally the most significant component of the diet of rainbow trout,... -
