Rationale and Follow-up on Terminating Nutrient Treatment of Morice Lake
Returns of sockeye salmon to the Morice-Nanika production system (tributary to the Skeena River) routinely exceeded 60,000 pieces prior to 1950. Between 1950 and 1955 escapements declined precipitously to only a few thousand adults and this condition has... -
Incidental Tag Returns from a 1970 Steelhead Tagging Program on the Babine Ri...
An additional report regarding the tag-recapture program instituted in cooperation with fishing lodges on the Babine River, aiming to provide some ancillary biological information. -
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,... -
State of Canadian Pacific Salmon: Responses to Changing Climate and Habitats
This report presents the first high-level overview of Canadian Pacific salmon responses to a rapidly changing world, and provides a foundation for further detailed work required to assess the vulnerability of salmon populations. Here we compile... -
New Salmon Escapement Database System (NuSEDS)
The Salmon Escapement Database (NuSEDS) is the DFO Pacific Region’s central database that stores individual spawner survey data records, spawner abundance estimates and the linkages between the two. Annual abundance estimates are maintained by population,... -
1980 Morice River Coded Wire Tagging (CWT) Program
As a precursor to a proposed hatchery facility, bio-baseline and manageability studies were initiated in the spring of 1979 and continued in the spring of 1980. The purpose of the downstream portion of the 1980 study was four-fold: 1) to capture, rear and... -

Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon: Stock Status and Forecasts for 1998
This paper aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of sockeye production from the Babine-Nilkitkwa system it brings together recently (~1990s) compiled information on trends in spawning escapements by run timing group, fry recruitment, smolt production,... -
Assessment of the Limnological status and Productive Capacity of Babine Lake
The objectives of this study are determining Babine Lake's current trophic status, plankton community structure, and biomass, and to estimate its current rearing capacity for juvenile sockeye. Furthermore, the study also checks for detectable limnological... -
Assessment of the Babine Lake Sockeye Development Program
This assessment aims to determine if the production of adult sockeye is directly attributable to the Babine Development Project and study the factors limiting production of Babine Lake Sockeye. -
