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... -
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... -
Fisheries Problems Associated with the Development of Logging Plans within th...
This report has been prepared primarily to describe the fisheries problems associated with a large scale logging operation proposed for the system and to outline certain proposals which are considered necessary for the protection of the salmon resource of... -
Trends in Abundance and Pre-Season 2000 Stock Size Forecasts for Major Sockey...
Trends in abundance and pre-season 2000 stock size forecasts for major sockeye, pink, and chum salmon stocks in the central coast and selected salmon stocks in Northern British Columbia, statistical areas 1-10. The recommended forecasts are based on simple... -
The status of the Nanika River Sockeye Rehabilitation Program 1960-1965
The Nanika River, which drains into Morice Lake, is the most valuable sockeye spawning stream in the Bulkley River system. The available data indicate that the pre-1954 escapements ranged within the general magnitude of 20,000 and 70,000 fish annually.... -
The Age, Size, and Sex Composition of Sockeye in the Escapements to Shculbuck...
For many years, estimates of the abundance of the spawning stock of sockeye salmon to Lakelse Lake have been made and recorded in the Confidential Annual Reports of the Fisheries Research Board, Biological Station, Nanaimo. During the years 1944-1956 and... -
Summary of Salmon Enumeration of Sampling Data, Babine River, 1961-1966 Count...
In 1945 and 1946 the Fisheries Research Board of Canada built a counting fence to permit total counts of all salmon species. Arc (1961) has discussed the location and construction of the fence and the counting and sampling procedures which were used to... -
Skeena Salmon Test Fishery 1987
Information relating to the Skeena River gillnet test fishery program for 1987 and a summary for the years 1955 to 1976 is presented in this report. Daily catch of all salmon species (Oncorhynchus~) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) are detailed by set... -
Salmon Expectations Prince Rupert

Research Document 2004/010: Production Relationships for Wild Skeena River So...
This paper outlines stock status for wild Skeena River sockeye salmon based on updated assessments of freshwater production in nursery lakes, available catch and escapement data, and modelled exploitation rates. -
Research Document 2001/098: Factors Limiting Juvenile Sockeye Production
This report presents summaries of data collected from 60 B.C sockeye nursery lakes between 1977 and 2000. Factors which constrain sockeye production in each lake and, where possible, make recommendations on the technique(s) most likely to increase stock... -
Report on the Occurrence of Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Disease in Out-...
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) occurs naturally in wild and enhanced stocks of Sockeye Salmon, where it can result in severe infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) disease. We report the occurrence of an IHN epizootic in Sockeye Salmon fry... -
Provisional Estimates of Numbers and Biomass for Natural-Origin and Hatchery-...
This report provides provisional abundance estimates for pink, chum, and sockeye salmon in major regions of the North Pacific from 1952 through 2015 in terms of: numbers of natural- origin and hatchery-origin salmon returns (i.e., catch plus escapement),... -
Migration Timing and Harvest Rates of the Steelhead Trout Populations of the ...
Migration timing and harvest rates of steelhead trout were examined in relation to the harvest of sockeye salmon in the mixed-stock fishery of the Skeena River. Summer-run steelhead overlap in their migration timing with sockeye salmon to a significant... -
Lakelse Sockeye Fry Outplant Program
