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... -
Evaluation of burbot stocks and assessment of a cod trapping technique in fou...
The use of cod traps was assessed in four small lakes of the Skeena Region. Traps were deployed during lake trout index netting assessments to gain expense and labour efficiencies. Basic life history parameters were described for pooled samples of burbot as... -
The 1995 Skeena River Gillnet and Seine Sampling Program
The 1995 Skeena River Fisheries Technician Program was tasked to work on grounds monitoring the area 4 gillnet and special seine fishery. The project was timed to coincide with peak catches of steelhead expected in and around the Skeena River mouth. The... -
Surveys of Native Food Fisheries for Steelhead in the Skeena River System
Skeena River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are subjected to commercial, native and sport fisheries as they migrate to their spawning areas. Standardized surveys are conducted to estimate fishing effort and catch in the commercial fishery (hail data, sales... -
Steelhead Migration Behaviour and Timing as Evaluated from Radio Tagging at t...
This study is a continuation of radio telemetry work conducted previously. The purpose of this study was to further refine stock specific run timing for steelhead within the Skeena River watershed. A secondary objective was to obtain migration rate data. -
Skeena River Selective Harvest Monitoring Projects
The purpose of this study is to quantitate and validate native fish harvests (food fishery harvests and excess salmon spawning requirement [ESSR] harvests) and releases in 1995. The reports analyze different methods of harvest used by indigenous communities... -
Skeena Region Fisheries Management Statement
The purpose of this regional planning statement is to provide long term direction for fisheries management in the Skeena region. This is accomplished through analysis of fish production, fishery utilization and management strategies over the next 10 to 20... -
An Overview of the Algorithms and Parameters used in the Skeena Steelhead Car...
The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of the model and identify the sources of the parameters used in the model. The overview will assist fisheries biologists in making the Nass habitat capability model more characteristic of... -
1995 Skeena River Sport Fish Coho and Steelhead Catch and Release Study
This report investigated the means by which shoreline anglers played and landed coho and steelhead, as well as observing the method of release and ultimate physical condition of each fish. Video tape and written records of each observed catch encounter were...
