Institutional Learning and Spawning Channels for Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus...
The purpose of this paper is to examine institutional learning in on particular circumstance, the construction, operation, and management of artificial spawning channels for sockeye salmon in B.C. -
Distribution, Timing, and Numbers of Steelhead Returning to the Skeena Waters...
This report summarizes the data collected during the July to November 1995 period and describes the fate and timing information of steelhead movements to the end of November 1995. Fishwheels operated by the Kitselas Band Office were used to catch and apply... -
Digest of Interim Report Skeena River Salmon Investigation
This report briefly summarizes the findings of a five-year investigation of the salmon of the Skeena River system from 1944 to 1948. -
Comparison of the Fecundity of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in the Ske...
Skeena River sockeye salmon are caught by the fishery mainly with gillnets. It is generally recognized that gillnets are selective for size. Foskett (1958) compared the size of sockeye sampled from the Rivers Inlet catch with the size of those sampled from... -

Babine River Coho Beach Seining Program
Commencing in 1998, Babine River coho fry were strategically enhanced by conducting fry and smolt releases. A survival comparison of the fry versus smolt releases was intended to determine if fry releases into the Babine system could be used to increase the... -
Application of Microsatellite DNA Variation to Estimation of Stock Compositio...
Microsatellite loci can be used to estimate spawning escapements of individual Pacific salmon populations returning to remote spawning locations throughout large river systems by analysis of appropriately weighted samples from test fisheries near the river... -
Aboriginal Fishing Rights and Salmon Management in British Columbia: Matching...
This paper presents brief arguments to establish a case for the allocation to river-based First Nations of significantly greater catches of salmon than they currently receive. It also makes the case that an increase in the allocation of salmon to river... -
A Review of Stock Assessment Information for Skeena River Chinook
Skeena management has changed significantly over the last decade, particularly since 1993 with the formation of the Skeena Watershed Committee. Interest, concern, and the need for chinook assessments on the Skeena are high. PSARC reviewed Skeena chinook in... -
A Life History Model for Assessing Alternative Management Policies for Depres...
Population and fishery dynamics are modelled to assess performance of alternative harvest policies for chinook that spawn in western North America. The sensitivity of model performance to variations in stock productivity and patterns of environment... -

Progress Reports on Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Studies for Inclusion in the B...
This report summarizes work carried out in 1966 and 1967 to answer two questions related to evaluation of the Babine Lake sockeye development project. These questions are, (l) how do fry produced from an artificial spawning channel compare to those produced... -
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... -
The Marking of Sockeye Salmon Fry (Oncorhynchus nerka) at Fulton River and Pi...
The Fisheries Service of the Department of the Environment is currently attempting to increase sockeye production by increasing the number of fry entering the lake, thus making fuller use of its potential as a nursery area (Dep. Fish 1965; McDonald 1969).... -
Reconstruction of the Total Return of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) to ...
An assessment of the total return of sockeye salmon to the Skeena River is presented for brood years from 1965 to 1982. Annual reconstructions required catch and spawning escapement data. Age structure information was used to apportion the catch and... -
The Trapping and Marking of Sockeye Salmon Fry at Fulton River, Babine Lake B.C.
A comparative study of the distribution, growth, and survival of sockeye salmon fry resulting from the same parental stocks, but reared in natural and artificial conditions began in 1966 (McDonald 1969). Fry produced from natural spawning in the Fulton... -
Age and Physical Characteristics of Maturing Chinook Salmon of the Nass, Skee...
During the last several years the Department of Fisheries of Canada has conducted "test-fishing" operations on the Nass, Skeena and Fraser rivers in order to obtain information on the magnitude and composition of the salmon spawning escapements. The... -
Age and Size of Rainbow Trout at the Outlet of Babine Lake and in Babine River
Rainbow trout are the most important sport fish in terms of angling effort in the Babine Lake system. Griffiths (1968) has reported on the age and growth of rainbow trout in the main part of Babine Lake but little or no information exists for Babine River.... -
Morice-Nanika Sockeye Recovery: Evaluation of Enhancement Options
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.
