In 1997, the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) was contracted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to produce a map that would allow licensees and contractors to direct their referrals more efficiently. DFO was receiving referrals...

The purpose of this report is to provide an indication of the net economic value of the fisheries stocks in the Bulkley river system. This is done by assessing current and future values of recreational, commercial and, to some degree, Indigenous fishing...

Juvenile salmonid populations in two tributary streams to the Morice River system, Owen and Lamprey Creeks, were assessed by the Fish Habitat Improvement Section in the fall of 1980. Objectives were directed at steelhead enhancement opportunities in the two...

An aquatic stream inventory was conducted in the Thautil River Watershed in the Morice Forest District during the summer and fall of 1996. This report presents an overview of the key results of the fish and habitat sampling program including fish...

The major emphasis of the study was to provide a broad-based aquatic inventory at an operational and landscape level to facilitate planning for forest development that minimizes impacts on the aquatic resources of the watershed. Emphasis was placed on...

This project is part of the joint Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and BC Ministry of Environment program to reduce the incidental interception of steelhead bound for the Skeena River by 50%. Monitoring of key Skeena steelhead stocks will be...

The Owen Creek watershed was initially surveyed in June, July and August 1998 by Dave Bustard and Associates to assess fish habitat characteristics and to investigate the diversity, population characteristics and distribution of fish. SKR Consultants Ltd....

The study area is located in the Bulkley River drainage (watershed code 460) of the Skeena River watershed in north-central British Columbia (Figure 1). Selected streams in the area were inventoried for stream classification under the Forest Practices Code...

The objective of this report is to present a concise distillation and elaboration where necessary, of the existing knowledge, studies and reports related to fish, fish habitat, other aquatic resources, riparian management, and generally factors related to...

A survey investigating the fish, and especially the steelhead values, of the small feeder creeks of the Morice River was conducted from August 6-15, 1975. The biological data included fish species present, invertebrates, in-stream and bank vegetation,...

This report determines the timing of sockeye, spring and coho migration leaving Morice Lake, the population size of sockeye smolts leaving Morice Lake, and the length weight, age and scale characteristics of the sockeye migrants.

The Gosnell Creek watershed is a pristine wilderness area which has high fisheries and wildlife values. It has been recognized by several government agencies as a unique area and this has resulted in the creation of a planning format called the Gosnell...

This report has been prepared primarily to describe the fisheries problems associated with a large scale logging operation proposed for the system and to outline certain proposals which are considered necessary for the protection of the salmon resource of...

This survey provides an assessment of fish presence/absence in Fenton Creek and its adjacent tributaries. It identifies stream gradients and reasons for obstructed fish passage, and identifies key habitat features that require special management attention....

The purpose of this design brief is to present a description of the methodologies used and the results of the study undertaken to delineate the floodplain of the Bulkley River and tributaries between Quick and Houston in British Columbia.

Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd. (Triton) was retained by the Ministry of Forests and Range (MOFR) to conduct a critical fish-stream reach inventory within the Bulkley Timber Supply Area (TSA).

Sixty-eight tributaries to the Bulkley River were examined by topographic maps and air photo interpretation to assess the degree and nature of the impacts on these streams by transportation and hydro-electric powerline corridors and...

Stock monitoring was conducted at several locations in the Bulkley/Morice system by Regional staff in 1984 and 1985. Many areas were sampled for the first time, and others were repeat (annual) sample sites. Stream-specific data are appended to this general...

The purpose of this report is to present the known history of sockeye production data, the biological and management information available, enhancement requirements, and potential techniques for the restoration of Morice-Nanika sockeye.

The objectives of this study were to conduct fish and fish habitat inventories, using 1:20,000 scale maps, to classify stream reaches within or adjacent to proposed timber harvesting areas as per Forest Practises Code regulations. The information in each...
