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... -
Skeena Salmon Skeena River Basin Habitat Report Card
This habitat report card is part of a 2013 project by ESSA Technologies that summarizes pressures on the habitat used by Skeena salmon Conservation Units (CUs) during their freshwater life history stages (migration, spawning and rearing), as well as their... -
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... -
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... -
Conserving Skeena Fish Populations and their Habitat
This report constitutes the Skeena Watershed Fish Sustainability Process Stage I document. Conserving Skeena Fish Populations and Their Habitat describes the planning process that includes prioritizing and selecting sub-basins to review. A biophysical... -
Value of Information in Pacific Salmon Fishery Management: the Skeena River T...
A Monte Carlo simulation model of the commercial gillnet fishery for sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) returning to the Skeena River, British Columbia, is used to evaluate the benefits of forecasts of annual returns of sockeye salmon based on test fishery... -

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 Trout Productivity and Stream Carrying Capacity for Rivers of the S...
The Skeena River contains the major proportion of British Columbia's summer-run steelhead trout. These fish are a highly-prized sports fish which are intercepted in commercial fisheries targeting mainly on sockeye and pink salmon. To manage steelhead more... -
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 Sockeye Sub-Stock Run-Timing and Abundance Evaluated Using Tyee Fisher...
This memo provides estimates of Skeena sockeye sub-stock timing and abundance entering Area 3⁄4 estimated using genetic (mDNA) samples collected from the Skeena River Tyee Test Fishery from 2000-2010. The genetic samples represent proportionate daily catch... -
