Abundance, age, size, sex and coded wire tag recoveries for chinook salmon es...
A key streams program was initiated in 1984 by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to monitor the success of management actions in several important chinook producing streams throughout British Columbia. The objectives of the key streams program are: 1)... -
Aboriginal Fishing Rights and Salmon Management in British Columbia: Matching...
This paper presents brief arguments to establish a case for the allocation to river-based First Nations of significantly greater catches of salmon than they currently receive. It also makes the case that an increase in the allocation of salmon to river... -
A Review of the 1983 Commercial Salmon Net Fisheries in Northern B.C. (Areas ...
This report reviews management actions and documents how management decisions for commercial fisheries in Areas 3, 4, and 5 were made, what information was used, how it was interpreted and what the results were in terms of catch and escapement. -
A Review of Stock Assessment Information for Skeena River Chinook
Skeena management has changed significantly over the last decade, particularly since 1993 with the formation of the Skeena Watershed Committee. Interest, concern, and the need for chinook assessments on the Skeena are high. PSARC reviewed Skeena chinook in... -
A Life History Model for Assessing Alternative Management Policies for Depres...
Population and fishery dynamics are modelled to assess performance of alternative harvest policies for chinook that spawn in western North America. The sensitivity of model performance to variations in stock productivity and patterns of environment... -
A Biological Assessment of the Coho Salmon of the Skeena River, British Colum...
This assessment covers coho salmon of the Skeena River. The status of coho populations grouped by sub-regions is presented, and recommendations are made for the further development of an assessment program for Skeena and other North Coast coho stocks. -

2001 Upper Kispiox Sockeye Stock Assessment
This project focused on the enumeration of sockeye stocks within the Swan and Stephens Lake Watershed and the suitability of the methods used to carry out this task. To successfully achieve the objectives of this project the GWA constructed an adult fish... -
Review of Escapement Indicator Streams for the North and Central Coast Salmon...
The decline in escapement monitoring effort and the importance of these data for annual assessment of stock status prompted this review of the escapement indicator streams and the discussions regarding survey priorities, methods, and costs with the groups... -
Skeena Salmon Management Committee Annual Reports
The Skeena Salmon Management Committee was established by the Minister of Fisheries in 1954 to investigate the condition of Skeena River salmon stocks, to improve management of the runs, and to increase the yield, if possible. To achieve its objectives the... -
Midwater Trawling for Sockeye Salmon Underyearlings (Oncorhynchus nerka) at B...
This report describes the method and results of midwater trawling for underyearling sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) at Babine Lake, British Columbia, in 1967. The work was part of a joint Fisheries Research Board - Fisheries Service program to assess a... -
Progress Reports on Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Studies for Inclusion in the B...
This report summarizes work carried out in 1966 and 1967 to answer two questions related to evaluation of the Babine Lake sockeye development project. These questions are, (l) how do fry produced from an artificial spawning channel compare to those produced... -
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).... -
Sockeye Salmon Migration in Babine River and Lake as Indicated By Tagging at ...
A second objective in tagging sockeye salmon as they passed through the Babine fence into Nilkitkwa and Babine Lakes was to procure information on the quality and speed of migration through the lakes to the spawning tributaries and to determine whether... -
The State of Pacific Salmon in British Columbia, 2018
The Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) provides this report on the present state of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in British Columbia (BC). This report was commissioned by the Coastal First Nations / Great Bear Initiative in their role as Secretariat to... -
Fisheries-related Collaboration in the Skeena River Watershed: Impacts and Im...
Conflict has surrounded Skeena fisheries management on British Columbia’s north coast for decades however limited Skeena-specific collaborative fisheries management research has been conducted. The objectives of this research were to identify, from... -
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... -
An Attempt to Determine Abundance and Distribution of Migrating Skeena River ...
Echo surveying is one of the newer techniques for estimating the abundance and distributional patterns of fish stocks and its potential seems promising as it is a convenient, economical and effective way of collecting information on underwater objects.... -
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...
