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. -
Spawning Stock Size and Resultant Production for Skeena Sockeye
This paper examines the available information, on size of catch in the parent year and the contribution of progeny of that year to commercial catch, in more detail and to characterize the relationship, if any, between the abundant of spawners and the size... -
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. -
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... -
Effects of a Rock Slide on Babine River Salmon
This report summarizes the results of the investigations on the rock slide of 1951 on Babine River and the following salmon runs of 1951 and 1951. -
Catalogue of Salmon Spawning Grounds and Tabulation of Escapements in the Ske...
The purpose of this catalogue is to bring under a single cover historical and recent information which describes salmon spawning grounds and annual escapements in the Skeena River drainage and immediately adjacent to it. -
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... -
The Marking of Sockeye Salmon Fry (Oncorhynchus nerka) at Fulton River and Pi...
The Fisheries Service of the Department of the Environment is currently attempting to increase sockeye production by increasing the number of fry entering the lake, thus making fuller use of its potential as a nursery area (Dep. Fish 1965; McDonald 1969).... -
The Trapping and Marking of Sockeye Salmon Fry at Fulton River, Babine Lake B.C.
A comparative study of the distribution, growth, and survival of sockeye salmon fry resulting from the same parental stocks, but reared in natural and artificial conditions began in 1966 (McDonald 1969). Fry produced from natural spawning in the Fulton... -
Proposed Sockeye Salmon Development Program for Babine Lake
The purpose of this report is to review evidence bearing on the potential of Babine lake as a sockeye producer and examine means by which the potential may be exploited. -
Hydroacoustic Assessment of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon in Babine Lake, British C...
This paper aims to assess the lacustrine distribution of juvenile sockeye salmon and estimate their total numbers at the latest practicable time before severe autumn lake conditions render such work impossible (1982). -
Digging Behaviour of Oncorhynchus Nerka Spawning in Streams at Babine Lake, B...
This paper compares the digging of male sockeye and kokanee with that of the females. Suggestions are made concerning its significance.
