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... -

This report summarizes fish and fish habitat values within the Copper River watershed and describes impacts to both the fisheries resource and riparian habitats regulating from forest development and harvesting activities. Recommendations for further... -
Upper Skeena and Kispiox River Juvenile Steelhead Surveys 1999
In 1999, the Ministry of Environment, Lands, and Parks surveyed portions of the Upper Skeena River and Kispiox Rivers during September 1999 for juvenile steelhead and fry and parr abundance. This report summarizes the results of those surveys and provides a... -
Update Assessment of Sockeye Salmon Production from Babine Lake, British Colu...
Wood et al. (1998) provided the last formal assessment of sockeye production from Babine Lake using production data spanning the 1950-1996 return years (1950-1991 brood years). This update adds 14 more years to the data series (1950-2010 return years,... -
Toboggan Creek Coho Smolt Enumerations
The primary focus of the "Toboggan Creek Smolt Project" is to estimate the number of wild coho (0. kisutch) smolts leaving Toboggan Creek. Initiated in the spring of 1995, the study aimed to estimate wild coho populations of Toboggan Creek by comparison... -
Salmon Expectations Prince Rupert
This report describes salmon expectations in the Prince Rupert area based on fisheries management summaries and assessments as well as historical catch statistics and escapement data. -
North and Central Coast Salmon Escapement, Catch, Run Size and Exploitation R...
This report provides details on the methods used to convert the escapement estimates for indicator stream into total escapement estimates for each SA and CU as well as a description of the methods used to estimate the exploitation rates needed to compute... -
Distribution, Timing, and Numbers of Steelhead Returning to the Skeena Waters...
This report summarizes the data collected during the July to November 1995 period and describes the fate and timing information of steelhead movements to the end of November 1995. Fishwheels operated by the Kitselas Band Office were used to catch and apply... -
Assessment of Sockeye Salmon Production in Babine Lake, British Columbia with...
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of sockeye production from the Babine-Nilkitkwa system in that it brings together, for the first time in many years, recently compiled information on trends in spawning escapements by run timing group, fry... -
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... -
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... -
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... -

Assessment of Sockeye and Pink Salmon Stocks in the Northern Boundary Area Us...
A multi-time-period method of stock reconstruction was used to estimate harvest and stock interception rates by area and time period, exploitation rates and total run size by stock. The data required for these reconstructions were catch by time and area,... -
