2001 Beach Seine Survey Project
The Beach Seine Survey project is a study of the juvenile salmonids distribution and their uses of the foreshore. Firstly, each site results were summarized individually by relating the incidence of each species over time. Secondly, impacted and... -
1999 North Coast Stream Inventory Project: Final Watersheds Report
This report describes the results of a 1999 field assessment of fish and fish habitat in selected watersheds in DFO Areas 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 by participants of the 1999 North Coast Stream Inventory Project (NCSIP), managed through the Community Fisheries... -
1999 Lower Skeena River Sport Catch Monitoring Programs
The objectives of this study were to monitor the encounter rates of all species landed by angles in each fishery, report and assess the gear used in the fisheries, and assess the release condition of all salmon, with an emphasis on coho. -
1999 Buck Creek Juvenile Salmonid Trapping Program
In the spring of 1999, the Community Futures Development Corporation of Nadina (CFDCN) was contracted by Barry Finnegan, Northern Coho Stock Assessment Biologist of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, to operate a Rotary Screw Trap (RST) on Buck Creek in the Upper... -
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... -
The Babine Lake Salmon Development Program Progress Report, 1968
Studies conducted by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada have indicated that sockeye fry densities are consistently lower in the main basin than in North Arm, despite similar densities of planktonic organisms. Basic productivity, as measured by the... -
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.... -

The Kemano Completion Project is massive. The Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) proposes a capital expenditure in excess of $2.2 billion which could increase aluminum production from its present level of 240,000 metric tonnes per year to 582,000 metric... -
Hydrographical Studies Associated with Salmon in the Nanika and Morice Rivers
Hydrographical studies have been undertaken since 1971 by the Fisheries and Marine Service in the prime spawning areas of the Nanika and Morice Rivers. The purpose of the studies was to document the physical and hydraulic conditions under which spawning and... -
Sockeye Egg-to-Fry Mortality in the Fulton River Spawning Channels
Possible causes of low egg-to-fry survival of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in the Babine Lake artificial spawning channels were studied from November, 1971 to March, 1972. Concurrent studies were conducted on the Fulton River and Pinkut Creek... -
