Technical Reports
FRB Technical Reports are research documents that are of sufficient importance to be preserved, but which for some reason are not appropriate for scientific publication. -
Skeena River Sockeye Escapement and Distribution
This report presents the various methods employed for determining the escapements to each known spawning area, the spawning estimates made for the years 1944 to 1948, and maps of the sockeye distribution in the Skeena watershed. -
Manuscript Report Series No.1189: Purse Seine Catches of Sockeye Salmon and O...
This report gives details of the catches of sockeye and other species of fish made in the course of fishing to recover marked sockeye during the spring, summer and fall after their entry into the lake beginning in 1971. -

The report is a short review of recent events and assesses current trends of the Skeena sockeye situation. -
Factors in the Population Biology of the Sockeye in the Skeena
The purpose of this paper is to examine these features of the population biology of Skeena River sockeye, to indicate factors that may have contributed to influencing the population changes, and to assess with a computer simulation, whether a synthesis of... -
Analysis of Ultrasonic Tracking Records of Adult Sockeye Salmon Migration in ...
Migratory pathways of adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) on their way to the spawning grounds in Babine Lake were monitored by ultrasonic tracking techniques in 1969 and 1970. This report presents procedures and computer programs used for processing... -
Timing of Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Stocks in the North-coast Commercial Fis...
Approximate timing of Babine Lake stocks in the fishing area has been shown by tagging there and in the Skeena River estuary, and recovering tagged fish on Babine Lake spawning grounds (see Takagi and Smith MS 1973 for a summary). However, mixing with other... -
