This report is a preliminary examination of environmental DNA collected in the Morice and Bulkley river systems through the STREAM (Sequencing The Rivers for Environmental Assessment and Monitoring) biomonitoring project. This report aims to highlight the... -
Returning Salmon: Integrated Planning and the Wild Salmon Policy in B.C.
The federal Wild Salmon Policy provides an excellent opportunity to both greatly improve salmon management and to achieve significant progress in meeting other ecosystem management commitments. So far, Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff have built a strong... -
2019 ANALYSIS OF WATER QUALITY MONITORING IN THE MORICE WATER MANAGEMENT AREA
In 2019, the Morice Watershed Monitoring Trust dedicated their annual monitoring program to expanding seasonal representation of water quality surface samples collected from within the Morice Watershed Management Area. Results reflect similar trends in the... -
Morice River Watershed Morphometry, Glacier Inventory and Future Glacier Changes
Three reports are provided that aim to detail the dominant landscape and cryospheric determinants of water quality and quantity in the upper Morice River region from the late-20th century, through today and to forecast conditions to 2100. The first report... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
