Adult Sockeye and Pink Salmon Tagging Experiments for Separating Stocks 1982-...
Adult sockeye and pink salmon were captured, tagged, and released in coastal fisheries of southern Southeast Alaska and northern British Columbia between 1982 and 1985. Sockeye salmon were tagged in 1982 and 1983; pink salmon were tagged in 1982, 1984, and... -
A Summary of Coded Wire tag recovery information from northern BC and Alaskan...
Estimated adjusted coded wire tag (CWT) recovery data for 3-year age class coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) tagged in lower Skeena River (Thornhill Creek/Eby Street, Terrace) and upper Skeena River (Kispiox River, Toboggan Creek, Fort Babine, Fulton... -
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 Brief Overview of Fish, Fisheries and Aquatic Habitat Resources in the Mori...
The objective of this report is to present a concise distillation and elaboration where necessary, of the existing knowledge, studies and reports related to fish, fish habitat, other aquatic resources, riparian management, and generally factors related to... -
A Biological Assessment of the Coho Salmon of the Skeena River, British Colum...
This assessment covers coho salmon of the Skeena River. The status of coho populations grouped by sub-regions is presented, and recommendations are made for the further development of an assessment program for Skeena and other North Coast coho stocks. -

In Season Forecasting of Skeena River Sockeye Run Size Using Bayesian Probabi...
This report examines the utility of using Bayesian probability theory to combine several inseason estimators of Canadian Area 4 Skeena River sockeye run-size into a single best estimate of total return. The inseason estimators were configured in two... -
Preliminary Categorization of the Productivity of 37 Coastal and Skeena River...
We carried out limnological surveys of 37 lakes on British Columbia's north coast and Skeena River system. Limnological data collected on these surveys enabled us to make preliminary estimates of the lakes' trophic status and productive capacity for... -
Skeena Salmon Management Committee Annual Reports
The Skeena Salmon Management Committee was established by the Minister of Fisheries in 1954 to investigate the condition of Skeena River salmon stocks, to improve management of the runs, and to increase the yield, if possible. To achieve its objectives the... -
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... -
Evaluating Relationships between Wild Skeena River Sockeye Salmon Productivit...
In Canada’s Skeena Watershed, smolt-to-adult survival of Babine Lake sockeye from 1962–2002 was inversely related to the abundance of sockeye smolts leaving Babine Lake. This relationship has led to the concern that Babine Lake smolt production, which is... -
Fisheries-related Collaboration in the Skeena River Watershed: Impacts and Im...
Conflict has surrounded Skeena fisheries management on British Columbia’s north coast for decades however limited Skeena-specific collaborative fisheries management research has been conducted. The objectives of this research were to identify, from... -
Prospects for the 1948 Salmon Catch on the Skeena River
From time to time enquiries have been made of the investigators as to their opinions of the size of runs which can be expected in a given area in an approaching season. For that reason the following comments are being recorded for the Skeena river in 1948.... -
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... -
Upper Skeena Chinook Stocks: Evaluation of the Bear-Sustut, Morice, and Lower...
The chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) escapements to the Skeena River have declined from 1950 to 1973 (Figure 1). In 1973, restrictions on sport and commercial fisheries were implemented to aid in recovery of Skeena River chinook stocks.... -
An Attempt to Determine Abundance and Distribution of Migrating Skeena River ...
Echo surveying is one of the newer techniques for estimating the abundance and distributional patterns of fish stocks and its potential seems promising as it is a convenient, economical and effective way of collecting information on underwater objects.... -
Stock Assessment of Early Run Skeena River Coho Salmon and Recommendations
Concerns have previously been expressed for the stock status of early run Skeena River coho salmon because of declining escapement levels. Available data on spawning escapements and subsequent recruitment were analyzed using a Ricker model under various... -
Synoptic Surveys Of Juvenile Coho Populations and Associated Habitat Characte...
This report documents the results of sampling conducted throughout the Skeena River watershed between 10 August and 2 September, 1996. Summary information is presented for physical and chemical characteristics of habitat as well as various estimates of... -
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... -
The Incidence of Regenerated Scales Among Fraser River and Skeena River Socke...
Scales of 4 and 5 year-old Skeena River and 4 year-old Fraser River sockeye of the 1963 brood year were examined for the incidence of regenerated scales. For the Skeena and Fraser 4 year-old sockeye the incidence of regenerated scales was 11.1% and 8.2%,...
